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 about 1806, and we understand it is still open. According to John Latimer, in his The Annals of Bristol in the Nineteenth Century (1887), the foundation-stone of the left wing of the Infirmary was laid in June 1806 by Mr. E. Protheroe. "For some inscrutable reason, the whole of the Infirmary buildings were painted black, and presented a most lugubrious appearance... It was not until more than thirty years later that the doleful aspect of the institution was removed at the expense of Mr. H.A. Palmer". Latimer also records that the Infirmary had an associated burial ground in Johnny Ball Lane, which along with the churchyards belonging to the ancient parishes of Bristol was required to be closed by Lord Palmerston's Act of 1853. Archaeological Review No. 27 of Transactions of the Bristol and Gloucestershire Archaeological Society, 2003, Vol. 121 (p.272) provides the additional information that the burial ground was in use from 1757 to 1857 for the interment of paupers dying in the Infirmary. When the burials were removed, some remains were retained for analysis, whilst others were re-buried at the South Bristol Crematorium and Cemetery, Bedminster. Denomination Now or formerly Hospital Chapel. 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.
