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 1948, and it has since been demolished, but we don't know when.

Old Maps of 1948-1951 show what was possibly a newly-built Friends Meeting House in Princess Street, Bedminster, in the same location as Maps of 1884-1885 show a Mission Hall, known from Kelly's Directories of Bristol to have been occupied by the Bible Christians. A comparison of the two indicates the Friends' Meeting House was longer and wider, suggesting that the original Hall was demolished, and a new building erected. Possibly this was a consequence of the area suffering bomb damage during WWII, as buildings to the east of the Hall were gone too. The Tannery, to the west of the Chapel, was, however still there!

In the present day, the surrounding area is largely in industrial use, and the site of the former place(s) of worship is now beneath Victoria Grove, extended beyond its original line, presumably to facilitate access to the various factories.

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.
