Cemeteries

We believe the Church did 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 1902, but we understand it was closed after 1984.

A Mission Church amidst a wooded area on the brow of Hyde Hill is first shown on Old Maps 1922-23, and last noted on my Landranger Map of 1984, marked with a '+'. Anciently, Hyde belonged to Minchinhampton parish, but when the church of Holy Trinity was opened in Brimscombe in 1840, an ecclesiastical district was created, and the district included Hyde, so evidently it was a mission of Holy Trinity.

The Victoria County History series: A History of the County of Gloucester, Volume 11: Bisley and Longtree Hundreds (1976), pp.201-204 (Minchinhampton - Churches) describes it as "a small stone mission room", which was built in 1902, "and remained in regular use in 1973". I assume it has now closed, and is, most likely, in private ownership.

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.

The above links were selected and reviewed at the time I prepared the information, but please be aware their content may vary, or disappear entirely. These factors are outside my control.
