Church History This Cemetery or Burial Ground was founded before 1921, and we understand it is still open. The first Map known to show the Cemetery is OS 1921 1:2,500. A Map of 1902 showing part of the plot occupied by a Reading Room suggests it may have belonged to it previously. According to Kelly's Directory of 1923, the reading room and a library were built, and presented to the parish by the 5th Baron Sherborne. The same source also mentions the Jesus Almshouses, which were founded by Hugh Westwood, but had then been sold by permission of the Charity Commissioners, and the proceeds invested. Today, along with many properties in Bibury, the Almshouses are Listed Buildings - see the British Listed Buildings website for details. Denomination Now or formerly a Cemetery. In most cases this will be a record of its original consecration. Maps This Cemetery is located at OS grid reference SP1169306564. You can see this on various mapping systems.

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.
