The numerous laws against Catholics included one which prevented them owning or inheriting property and banning leasing property for a period greater than 31 years. As a result post-Reformation burials of Catholics in Bath occurred in Anglican cemeteries until the establishment of the church in Old Orchard Street in 1809.
