We have 3 Images Above Photograph(s) Copyright of Rosemary Lockie Society of Friends Cheltenham Meeting, Cheltenham Society of Friends Cheltenham Meeting, Warwick Place, off Portland Street, GL52 2NP, Cheltenham, Gloucestershire. Cemeteries We believe the Church does 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 in 1985, and we understand it is still open. This modern building in Warwick Place was opened in February 1985, after the Friends Meeting House in Portland Street was closed in 1983 and demolished to make way for Cheltenham's northern relief road. Between then and the opening of Warwick Place, Friends took a step back in time, to meet in the Shaftesbury Hall, which had been built on the spot where the Friends' 18th-century Meeting House had been, prior to its move to Portland Place. Apparently today's Friends' building is also the meeting place for the Seventh Day Adventist Church. See also the list of Cheltenham - Current and Former Places of Worship on Stuart Flight's "Glosgen" website, and the website of Gloucestershire Quakers. 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.

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.
