We have 4 Images Above Photograph(s) Copyright of John Williams Quaker Burial Ground, Shortwood, Nailsworth Quaker Burial Ground, Homefield, Shortwood, Nailsworth, Gloucestershire. Church History This Cemetery or Burial Ground was founded in 1695, but we don't know whether or not it is still open. Kelly's Directory of 1923, under the entry for Nailsworth, records that there has been a burial ground for the Society of Friends at Shortwood since 1696 (though as can be seen from our photograph, the board on the gate says 1695). From above, and on Old Maps, the burial ground is shown as 'L' shaped. It is now shielded from the road by new housing, but it is possible to reach it via a public footpath. It is mentioned in the Nailsworth Design Statement (Draft for Adoption October 2008), available on Stroud District Council website as "an historic burial ground", so is obviously intended for preservation. The two memorials with inscriptions visible on last of our photos are to Emma GILKES, and Howard Tylor BINNS, 3rd son of G.W. & S.A. BINNS, born [?] 1880, died [?] 1898. Denomination Now or formerly a Cemetery (Quaker). In most cases this will be a record of its original consecration. Maps This Cemetery is/was located at OS grid reference ST8397399274. You can see this on various mapping systems. Note all links open in a new window: Quaker Burial Ground, Shortwood, Nailsworth shown on a Google Map.

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.
