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 1884, and we understand it is still open. This Friends Meeting House is a large building of dark stone with lighter stone dressings. The windows in the sides have a 17th century style to them, being rectangular, with panes of leaded lights, separated by stone glazing bars; but according to a plaque set into the chimney breast, it dates from 1884. It is marked in outline on Old Maps from 1903, but unnamed. There is no sign of it ever having its own burial ground. It is recorded in Kelly's Directory of Bristol of 1914 between #124, the residence of Mrs. Watts, on the north side of the intersection with Leyton Villas, and #128 Hampton Road, the residence of Alfred Edward Stanley Hill. Denomination Now or formerly Quaker. 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.
