Cemeteries

This Church has (or had) 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 1632, and we understand it is still open.

Poole Keynes was formerly in the county of Wiltshire, but was annexed to Gloucestershire from 1st April 1897, as was the nearby village of Somerford Keynes. Their "sister" village of Ashton Keynes remains in Wiltshire.

It is 4½ miles south of Cirencester. Its church of St Michael was rebuilt in 1770 on the site of an older church, and comprises chancel, nave and square embattled western tower, containing one bell. Some of the Monuments built into the walls date from the 16th century. At the time of Kelly's Directory of 1923, it had sittings for 70 persons.

The parish registers date from 1632.
