Church History

This Cemetery or Burial Ground was founded in 1660, though it is now closed, but we don't yet know when.

I first found mention of this burial ground in The Gloucestershire Village Book, published by the Gloucestershire Federation of Women's Institutes. It was associated with the home of John Roberts, one of the founders of the Quaker movement, which today is known as "Roberts House". The burial ground was in the garden of a cottage, and is the last resting place of John Roberts (d.1683), and a few other Quakers.

Roberts House was, according to the British Listed Buildings website, once several separate cottages, which were combined, and added to by Roberts. The site makes no mention of the Burial Ground, so it may have been cleared.

Denomination

Now or formerly a Cemetery (Quaker).

In most cases this will be a record of its original consecration.
