We have 3 Images Above Photograph(s) Copyright of John Williams Church of the Holy Spirit, Paganhill, Stroud Church of the Holy Spirit, Stratford Road, Paganhill, Stroud, Gloucestershire. Cemeteries We believe the Church does 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 after 1923, and we understand it is still open. Kelly's Directory of 1923 has two entries for Paganhill, one under Cainscross, and one under Whiteshill. Under Cainscross, it records that 'Pakenhill' is three quarters of a mile north-east, in comparison with Westrip, which is 1 mile north-west (of Cainscross). The entry for Whiteshill says "Whiteshill, with the hamlets of Bread Street and Ruscombe, and part of Pakenhill, was formed into an ecclesiastical parish, Feb 2, 1844, from the parishes of Standish and Stroud... [and in] 1894 it was constituted a civil parish ... Pakenhill (or Pagan Hill) is a hamlet half a mile south, partly in this, but principally in the parish of Stroud". Neither entry records a church, so it is assumed the Church of the Holy Spirit was founded after the entries were compiled. Its first known appearance on Old Maps is in 1924, when it is noted simply as a Mission Church. Interestingly, the appearance of the sides on the photograph makes it look like it began life as a "tin tabernacle", to which a brick front was added, possibly at a later date. 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.
