One Church (formerly Dursley Cam & Wotton New Life), Lower Cam

One Church (formerly Dursley Cam & Wotton New Life),
32 High Street, GL11 5LE,
Lower Cam, Gloucestershire.

Cemeteries

We believe the Church 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 1929, and we understand it is still open.

The former Cam, Dursley & Wotton New Life Church was formed originally in 1929. In 2013, the congregation joined the "One Church" group, and is now affiliated to Gloucester One Church, situated in The Butts, Robinswood Hill, in Gloucester.
It is probably the building listed in Places recorded by the Registrar General under the provisions of the Places of Worship Registration Act 1855 (2010) as "Full Gospel Hall", with an Assemblies of God congregation, and referred to in the following notice published in The London Gazette of 6th August 1940 (p.):
"A Separate Building, duly certified for religious worship, named FULL GOSPEL HALL situated at High Street in the civil parish of Cam in Stroud registration district in the county of Gloucester was on the 31st July 1940, registered for solemnizing marriages therein, pursuant to 6 and 7 Will. IV, c.85. Dated 2nd August 1940.
It is situated next to the Arthur S. Winterbotham Memorial Hall, but predates it - the Church's website says its congregation was founded in 1929.

Denomination

Now or formerly Assemblies of God.

If more than one congregation has worshipped here, or its congregation has united with others, in most cases this will record its original dedication.

Resources

I have found many websites of use whilst compiling the information for this database. Here are some which deserve mention as being of special interest for Lower Cam, and perhaps to Local History and Places of Worship as a whole.

Places recorded by the Registrar General under the provisions of the Places of Worship Registration Act 1855 (2010) is available as a "Freedom of Information" document on the website What Do They Know. (verified 2018-10-14)
Notices of Civil Registration of Places of Worship for marriages are published in the London edition of The Gazette. Hint: search for registrations from 1998 by choosing 'Church' notices, and the option 'Registration for solemnising marriage'. (verified 2018-12-11)

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.

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.

Please note the above provides a search of selected fields in the Gloucestershire section of the Places of Worship Database on this site (churchdb.gukutils.org.uk) only. For other counties, or for a full search of the Database, you might like to try the site's Google Custom Search, which includes full webpage content.
