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 1894, and we understand it is still open. John Latimer, in The Annals of Bristol in the Nineteenth Century (concluded, 1901) records that the dedication service for the newly erected church of St Alban, Westbury Park was held on May 6th, 1894. The cost of the building was about £3,300. It is the only church (to my knowledge) in Bristol which is dedicated to this particular saint. The building Latimer describes was superseded by the present St Alban's, which was erected during the period 1907-15 to a design by C.F.W. Denning adjacent to (to the south of) the first building. This is a far larger "Gothic" structure, and in my opinion not so attractive as the original, designed by local architect, Henry Crisp, which is more a classic "country" church, with a red tiled roof, and a small spire. It has, however been retained by the parish, and is now a Church Hall. At the time it was built, Westbury Park belonged to the parish of Westbury, so St Alban's was a daughter church of Holy Trinity. In the present day, however, it operates as a Local Ecumenical Partnership with the former Westbury Park Methodist Church. Together, they are known as "The Church in Westbury Park". 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.

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.
