Church History This Cemetery or Burial Ground was founded in 1868, and we understand it is still open. Coleford Cemetery was consecrated 18th January 1868, and in 1923 it occupied 4 acres. There is a plan, and some notes on its memorials on the Forest of Dean Family History Trust website, under Documents and Articles -> Miscellaneous Documents. The Guide provides the information that there are consecrated and unconsecrated sections, and a Natural Burial Area. The mortuary chapels (Anglican) near the entrance were demolished in 1965. [Other Source: Kelly's Directory (1923)] There may be more information available by by selecting one or more of the accompanying images on the right. Denomination Now or formerly a Cemetery.

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.
