Cemeteries We believe the Chapel 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 in 1896, and we understand it is still open. This chapel has a plaque above the entrance doorway which is all but obliterated, but appears to have a date of 1896. On Old Maps (for example OS 1902 1:2,500) it is labelled as "Zion Chapel (Free Methodist); though by the time of compilation of Kelly's Directory of 1923 it was said to be United Methodist. According to various sources online it has some very colourful stained glass windows. At some point - I would guess in the 1990s - it became Aust Evangelical Church, otherwise known as "Severnside Evangelical Church". For more information about the Church, and surrounds, you may want to visit the Olveston & Aust Community Website, where you will find plenty of information of interest - an attractive, and well-managed site. Denomination Now or formerly Free Methodist. 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.
