Church History This Cemetery or Burial Ground was founded before 1920, and we understand it is still open. In the past, locals used to speak of the "the old cemetery" and "the new cemetery", on opposite sides of Tredworth Road - two sides of what is now, since the opening of Coney Hill Cemetery and Crematorium in 1939, called the "Old Cemetery". The two sides of the road are now referred to as the "Chapel Side" and "B" ground. The newer part ("B" ground) has burials dating from at least 1920, including those from the Second World War, with their memorials. Both are now, however closed to new plots becoming available, though burials may still take place in family plots (when graves are re-opened), or where plots have been pre-purchased. "B" Ground also houses burials that were exhumed from graveyards of churches in the city centre which were closed when the land they occupied was used for redevelopment. This includes St Nicholas, St Michael, St Luke, St John the Baptist (now St John Northgate), and Barton Street Unitarian Chapel. A record of these re-burials is now held at Coney Hill Cemetery.

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.
