Cemeteries

We believe the Church did 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 before 1885, but we understand it was closed by 1980.

The location of a Mission Hall can be seen on the Bristol Town Map of 1885, on the north-east corner of the junction of Cumberland Street with Days Road, said to have seats for 300. It is not labelled explicitly, but Kelly's Bristol and Suburban Streets Directory of 1914 for Days Street records a Bristol City Mission Chapel at its intersection with Cumberland Street.

The following notice in The London Gazette of 5th February 1929 (p.904) recorded its registration for marriages:

A Separate Building, duly certified for religious worship, named BRISTOL CITY MISSION HALL, situated at Day's-road, St. Philip, in the civil parish of Bristol, in the county borough of Bristol, in Bristol registration district, was, on the 21st January, 1929, registered for solemnizing marriages therein, pursuant to 6 & 7 Wm. IV, c.85. Dated 31st January 1929.

A notice of cancellation of the registration of "BRISTOL CITY MISSION HALL, Day's Road, St. Philip" was published in the Gazette of 21st March 1980 (p.4475), and the Hall has (I assume) since been demolished, as Cumberland Street has been cleared, and the place where the Mission Hall stood is now in industrial use.

Denomination

Now or formerly City Mission.

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