We have 1 Image Above Photograph(s) Copyright of John Williams The Salvation Army, Stroud Corps, Stroud The Salvation Army, Stroud Corps, Acre Street, GL5 1DR, Stroud, 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 1878, and we understand it is still open. The Salvation Army has been in Acre Street since 1878, according to the Churches Together in Stroud website. Meetings are held in what was built originally as a Methodist chapel, known as "Acre Street Chapel", an octagonal building which opened in 1763. The Methodist congregation moved to a new building when a new Wesleyan chapel was opened in Castle Street, on 27th October 1876. [Source: Non-Conformist Chapels and Meeting Houses, Gloucestershire (1986)] Denomination Now or formerly Salvation Army. 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.
