Cemeteries This Church 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 1740, but we understand it was closed in 1873. This former meeting house of a Baptist congregation was built about 1740. It is at the south east (lower) end of a burial ground, shared with its replacement ('The Tabernacle') built in 1873. The original building was enlarged at the front in about 1810, and at a later date, a long Sunday-school wing was attached to the north west. The Sunday-school wing has a similar 3-bay front to the chapel, and they share a hipped roof. The front of the Sunday-school had an oval tablet inscribed 'Chalford Tabernacle Sunday School Room'. There is a memorial in front of the chapel to Rev. James DEANE, 50 years pastor (1810), and his wife Elizabeth (1840), and there is a headstone to Daniel M... minister, ?1760 at the rear. Surprisingly this building doesn't appear to be Listed, though the present Baptist Chapel building is. [Source: Non-Conformist Chapels and Meeting Houses, Gloucestershire (1986)] Denomination Now or formerly Baptist. 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.
