Cemeteries

We believe the Church 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 1875, but we understand it was closed in 1989.

All Saints was built in 1875 to a design by George Gilbert Scott. It stands at the junction of Barton Street and the present Trier Way, a new road which replaced a former Midland Railway line serving the Gloucester Docks. The railway line crossed Barton Street by level crossing, skirted the edge of The Park, to pass through the Gloucester Dock area and rejoin the main railway line south of Gloucester. It was closed some time in the late 1970s, and when the new road was built, the level crossing became a junction controlled by traffic lights.
The church itself was closed for worship in 1989, and its building is now in use as an Anglo-Chinese Community Centre. The parish it served was joined to that of St James, in Upton Street, St James then becoming the parish church of St James and All Saints.
Our illustrations include an old postcard of the inside of the church, and present day photographs show the exterior, from Barton Street, and (the rear) from Charles Street. The modern photograph of the interior was taken during Gloucester Heritage Weekend, 2012, when the church was open to the public for the first time. Note that the original ceiling has been lowered, to accomodate an upper level, so sight of the East Window is now partially obscured. [Source: John Williams/Rosemary Lockie]

Denomination

Now or formerly Church of England.

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.
