Cemeteries This Chapel has (or had) 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 1854, and we understand it is still open. Kingswood Methodist Church has a familiar style of a three-bay front, with narrow outer bays, and a central projecting bay, over which is a small pediment, with a dedication plaque. There are two tiers of windows, the lower ones blocked on the outer bays, and the central bay containing a doorway, with taller windows on either side. Above the doorway is a triple-glazed window, superficially perhaps making an overall design similar to that of the original Wesleyan Chapel in British Road, Bedminster, which is said by Non-Conformist Chapels and Meeting Houses, Gloucestershire (1986) to have had a central projecting bay, and "simplified Venetian-window" above a round-arched entrance, but since the latter has been demolished, it is impossible to tell. At the time of Kelly's Directory of 1923, its Minster was the Rev. Joseph Lineham, B.A. 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.
