Cemeteries We believe the Chapel did NOT have a graveyard. Note: any church within an urban environment may have had its graveyard closed after the Burial Act of 1853. Any new church built after that is unlikely to have had a graveyard at all. Church History This Place of Worship was founded in 1878, and it has since been demolished, but we don't know when. This Baptist Chapel (General) was located on the Bristol Town Map of 1884-1885, whilst searching for the former Jewish Burial Ground in Rose Street. It was on the south side of Tower Street, and said to have seats for 100. It occupied the equivalent of 2 blocks on the street, as did the nearby Methodist Chapel, in Rose Street, which ran parallel to Tower Street, to the south. It was founded in 1878 as a mission of Counterslip Chapel, which had moved to a new building in Victoria Street that same year. The area was cleared in 1913, when the land was compulsorily purchased by the Great Western Railway to extend the Goods Yard at Temple Meads Station. Only a small portion of the original Tower Street now remains, and the site of the Chapel lies beneath Temple Way. Note also that in the 19th century two Temple Streets existed. The other ran between Castle Street and Castle Green, and no longer exists. Denomination Now or formerly General Baptist. If more than one congregation has worshipped here, or its congregation has united with others, in most cases this will record its original dedication.

Search Tips:

You can specify either a Place, or OS Grid Reference to search for. When you specify a Place, only entries for that place will be returned, with Places of Worship listed in alphabetical order. If you specify a Grid Reference, Places of Worship in the immediate vicinity will be listed, in order of distance from the Grid Reference supplied. The default is to list 10, but you can specify How Many you want to see, up to a maximum of 100.

You can further refine your search by supplying other search terms.

• You can specify entries with ('Yes') or without ('No') photographs.
• You can specify a church or chapel's Dedication, to restrict entries to those containing the term you supply as a dedication. So for instance, 'John' would return 'St John', 'St Mary and St John', 'St John the Divine' &c.
• You can specify a Street address, and likewise 'George' will return George Place, St George's Street, George and Dragon, &c.
• You can restrict the search to classes of Denomination. The exact denomination is always shown in the results, although the search is for broad types. Thus you can search for 'Methodist', but not 'Wesleyan Methodist' or 'Primitive Methodist'. 'Multi-denominational' includes Ecumenical Partnerships, and 'Miscellaneous' means anything not covered by other broad classes.
