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 in the 12th century, and we understand it is still open.

The Church of All Hallows (All Saints, in some sources) is a Grade I Listed Building - see the British Listed Buildings website for details.
According to Kelly's Directory of 1923, it is "a specious edifice, consisting of chancel, nave of five bays, aisles, south porch and an embattled central tower containing a clock, presented by Mrs. Edwards, and 6 bells. The building dates from the 12th century, the doorways and chancel arch being excellent specimens of Transition Norman work. The chancel is Late Decorated, enriched throughout with the ball flower ornament, and retains sedilia and aumbry and an elaborately carved piscina ... on the west wall is a tablet inscribed to Walter Portlock, of this parish, who died in 1701, aged 100 years". There are two white alabaster tablets of ornate design on the north wall, as memorials to C.D. and E.H. Moss. In 1921 a stairway was built to the belfry as a memorial to the men of the parish killed during the Great War, 1914-18, and the year previously, a memorial cross was erected on The Green in memory of the 27 men who died.
The living was (in 1923) a vicarage with the chapelry of Cerney Wick annexed, where there is a chapel of ease, dedicated to Holy Trinity.

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.

Please note the above provides a search of selected fields in the Gloucestershire section of the Places of Worship Database on this site (churchdb.gukutils.org.uk) only.
