Primitive Methodist Mission Room (Demolished), Baptist Mills, Bristol

Primitive Methodist Mission Room (Demolished),
Mina Road / Trefield Road (now Mercia Drive),
Baptist Mills, Bristol, Gloucestershire.

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 in 1881, but we understand it was closed before 1914.

Various sources mention a Primitive Methodist Chapel in Mina Road, which was founded in 1881. The only one I can find a record of is in Kelly's Directory of Bristol of 1902, a Primitive Methodist Mission Room, on the south-east corner of the junction of Mina Road with Treefield Street (now renamed as Mercia Drive). The next building listed, on the opposite side of the junction, was St Werburgh's Mission Room.
By 1914, the building in the same relative position (and by then labelled as #110) has become a Unionist Club, of which John Henry Comer was the honorary secretary. Old Maps do not label either the Mission Room or the club, but they show that the building on the corner differed from those on either side of it, in having a rounded corner, so having a "foot" in both streets, as it were. This design can be seen on several of the junctions of side streets with Mina Road, for example, on the north-east corner of its junction with Penfield Road, which at the time of the Google StreetView drive-past in 2012 was a public house called the Miners Arms.

Denomination

Now or formerly Primitive Methodist.

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.
