The cemetery was designed by Charles Underwood in the style of a Greek Necropolis. Within a few years of its opening in 1837 it became the most fashionable place to be buried in Bristol.[8]
During the 20th century the cemetery fell into disrepair, and local groups began campaigning for its restoration. In 1987 the owner disclosed plans to exhume the bodies and develop the site for housing. Early in the 21st century following a public campaign the site was subject to a compulsory purchase order by Bristol City Council.[8]
In 2003 it was featured on the BBC programme Restoration. The cemetery was a South West region runner-up and has since received a £4.8 million Heritage Lottery Fund grant.[9] The cemetery is undergoing restoration, however the Mortuary Chapel,[10] Entrance Lodges and Gates[11] and Nonconformist Mortuary Chapel[12] remain on the English Heritage Heritage at Risk Register.

Raja Ram Mohan Roy is considered as the pioneer of modern Indian Renaissance for the remarkable reforms he brought in the 18th and 19th century India. Among his efforts, the abolition of the brutal and inhuman Sati Pratha was the most prominent. His efforts were also instrumental in eradicating the purdah system and child marriage. In 1828, Ram Mohan Roy formed the Brahmo Samaj, uniting the Bhramos in #Calcutta, a group of people, who had no faith in idol-worship and were against the caste restrictions. The title 'Raja' was bestowed upon him by the Mughal emperor #Akbar II, in 1831. Roy visited England as an ambassador of the #Mughal #King to ensure that Bentick's regulation banning the practice of Sati was not overturned. He died of meningitis in 1833 while residing in Bristol, England.
Early Life and Education
Raja Ram Mohan Roy was born on August 14, 1774 to #Ramakanta Roy and Tarini Devi in Radhanagar village of Hoogly district, Bengal Presidency. His father was a wealthy Brahmin and orthodox individual, and strictly followed religious duties. At the age of 14 Ram Mohan expressed his desire to become a monk, but his mother vehemently opposed the idea and he dropped
Following the traditions of the time, Ram Mohan had a child #marriage at age nine but his first wife died soon after the marriage. He was married for a second time at ten and had two sons from the marriage. After the death of his second wife in 1826, he married for a third time and his third wife outlived him.
Though his father Ramakanto was very orthodox but wanted his son to pursue higher education. He got Bengali and Sanskrit education from the village school. After that, Ram Mohan was sent to Patna to study Persian and Arabic in a Madrasa. Persian and Arabic were in high demand at that time as it was still the court language of the Mughal Emperors. He studied the Quran and other Islamic scriptures. Post completion of his studies in Patna, he went to Benares (Kashi) to learn Sanskrit. He mastered the language in no time and began studying scriptures, including the Vedas and Upanishads. He learnt English language at the age of 22. He read the works of philosophers like Euclid and Aristotle which helped shape his spiritual and religious conscience.
Ram Mohan Roy
Ram Mohan Roy, Ram Mohun also spelled Rammohun, Rammohan, or Ram Mohan , was an Indian religious, social, and educational reformer, and humanitarian, who challenged traditional Hindu culture and indicated the lines of progress for Indian society under British rule. He is called the Maker of Modern India, and also the Father of Modern India. He is also regarded as the Father of the Bengal Renaissance. He, along with Dwarkanath Tagore and other prominent Bengalis of the early 19th century, founded the Brahmo Sabha in 1828, which engendered the Brahmo Samaj, an influential Indian socio-religious reform movement during the Bengal Renaissance. His influence was apparent in the fields of politics, public administration, and education, as well as religion. He was described by Rabindranath Tagore as the Father of Indian Renaissance, and the Prophet of Indian Nationalism.

SUMMARY
=======
Charles I (19 November 1600 – 30 January 1649) was the monarch over the three kingdoms of England, Scotland, and Ireland from 27 March 1625 until his execution in 1649.
Charles was born into the House of Stuart as the second son of King James VI of Scotland, but after his father inherited the English throne in 1603, he moved to England, where he spent much of the rest of his life. He became heir apparent to the thrones of England, Scotland and Ireland on the death of his elder brother, Henry Frederick, Prince of Wales, in 1612. An unsuccessful and unpopular attempt to marry him to the Spanish Habsburg princess Maria Anna culminated in an eight-month visit to Spain in 1623 that demonstrated the futility of the marriage negotiations. Two years later, he married the Bourbon princess Henrietta Maria of France instead.
After his succession, Charles quarrelled with the Parliament of England, which sought to curb his royal prerogative. Charles believed in the divine right of kings and thought he could govern according to his own conscience. Many of his subjects opposed his policies, in particular the levying of taxes without parliamentary consent, and perceived his actions as those of a tyrannical absolute monarch. His religious policies, coupled with his marriage to a Roman Catholic, generated the antipathy and mistrust of Reformed groups such as the English Puritans and Scottish Covenanters, who thought his views were too Catholic. He supported high church Anglican ecclesiastics, such as Richard Montagu and William Laud, and failed to aid Protestant forces successfully during the Thirty Years' War. His attempts to force the Church of Scotland to adopt high Anglican practices led to the Bishops' Wars, strengthened the position of the English and Scottish parliaments and helped precipitate his own downfall.
From 1642, Charles fought the armies of the English and Scottish parliaments in the English Civil War. After his defeat in 1645, he surrendered to a Scottish force that eventually handed him over to the English Parliament. Charles refused to accept his captors' demands for a constitutional monarchy, and temporarily escaped captivity in November 1647. Re-imprisoned on the Isle of Wight, Charles forged an alliance with Scotland, but by the end of 1648 Oliver Cromwell's New Model Army had consolidated its control over England. Charles was tried, convicted, and executed for high treason in January 1649. The monarchy was abolished and a republic called the Commonwealth of England was declared. The monarchy was restored to Charles's son, Charles II, in 1660.

Disconnected Genius: Dwarkanath and Rabindranath
Dwarkanath Tagorewas an early 19th century self-made entrepreneur who has been compared with Jamshedji Tata-the industrial pioneer. He was also the grandfather of Rabindranath Tagore, though curiously, the poet in his substantial body of works, hardly mentions Dwarkanath, who was a man of rare qualities ranging from strong business acumen to the love of the arts, poetry and music.
Though at times ruthless in business, he was also aprogressive thinker and a generous donor to many charities and worthy causes. Though not often acknowledged, his economic success saved his descendants from the perils of the job-seeking Bengali for several generations and allowed them to focus on their creative output relatively undisturbed - a rare luxury among contemporary writers and artists in India.
Expert testimonials:
Aniruddho Sanyal's personal tribute to Dwarkanath, Disconnected Genius, brings this larger-than-life man alive. It is an attractive mixture of historical material, contemporary footage shot in Calcutta, England and the United States, dramatized scenes from Dwarkanath's life, and a fascinating interview with Blair Kling, an American economic historian who wrote an important book on Dwarkanath's empire. Anyone interested in the Tagore family and the roots of modern India's current economic rise should see Disconnected Genius
-Andrew Robinson, Tagore scholar and biographer, world renowned authority on Satyajit Ray and formerly Editor, Times Literary Supplement
Aniruddho Sanyal's documentary, Disconnected Genius, captures the important place of Dwarkanath Tagore, the grandfather of Rabindranath, in the history of modern India. It depicts Dwarkanath, who flourished in early nineteenth-century Calcutta, as a man of many facets—business and industrial entrepreneur, patron of western education and theater, social leader who broke taboos by associating with Europeans and bringing British and Indian elites together, and citizen of the British Empire who spent long periods in London where he hobnobbed with literati and social leaders and with Queen Victoria herself. Sanyal's vivid and concise portrayal of Dwarkanath also explores the mystery of why Rabindranath in none of his writings acknowledged the achievements of his illustrious ancestor.
-Blair Kling, Professor of History, Tagore scholar and author of Partner in Empire: Dwarkanath Tagore, the greatest sourcebook on the subject of Rabindranath's grandfather and the 19th century renaissance in Bengal.
Aniruddho Sanyal's impressive film on Dwarkanath Tagore - Rabindranath's grandfather - is a long overdue assessment of a pioneering Indian entrepreneur who made his mark in a highly competitive colonial business world. It goes to show that the Tagores were modernists, starting effectively with Dwarkanath. Rabindranath Tagore's myriad modernising efforts in the field of Indian culture are but a continuation of the same momentum. Both Rajah RamMohun Roy and Dwarkanath Tagore began a progressive dialogue with the west which was temporarily regressed by Maharshi Debendranath, Dwarkanath's son. Fortunately it was revitalised by Rabindranath to inspire India in search of her rightful place in the world.
-Krishna Dutta, Tagore scholar and biographer. Author (with Andrew Robinson) of Rabindranath Tagore: The Myriad Minded Man( St. Martin's Press, 1996) and several other seminal volumes on Rabindranath Tagore and a path-breaking book on Calcutta.
