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. Maps This Cemetery was located in the town/village nearest OS grid reference SU0365199926. You can see this on various mapping systems.

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.
