Cold Ashton, Gloucestershire.

Cemeteries

This Church has/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 1500, but we don't know whether or not it is still open.

Kelly's Directory of 1923 describes Cold Ashton as a parish and village, on the Bath and Gloucester road, near the London and Bristol road, and bounded on the south by Somersetshire, 5½ miles north from Bath, 10 east from Bristol and 8 south from Chipping Sodbury. The church of the Holy Trinity is "an ancient building of stone in the Perpendicular style, consisting of chancel, clerestoried nave of three bays, south porch and an embattled western tower, with pinnacles, containing 2 bells".
There is a mural brass in the chancel, with a Latin inscription of six lines to Thomas Key, rector and builder of the church, c.1500, and a brass tablet on which are inscribed the names of the rectors of the parish from the 12th century. There is a hagioscope on the south side of the chancel arch, and on the opposite side is the entrance to the ancient rood loft, with a spiral staircase. The carved oak pulpit, in which it is said Bishop Latimer preached, is richly moulded, and has a canopy with crocketed finials. The parish registers of baptisms and burials date from 1734. The living was then a rectory, in the gift of, and held since 1915 by the Rev. Charles Arthur Williams M.A. of Trinity College, Dublin.
The parish also includes the hamlets of Pennysylvania, Hamswell and Nimlet.

Denomination

Now or formerly Church of England.

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.
