Default Image Place of Worship has been Demolished. Image by courtesy of openclipart.org Baptist Chapel (Demolished?), Cranham Baptist Chapel (Demolished?), Cranham Common, Cranham, Gloucestershire. Cemeteries We believe the Chapel did 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 before 1884, though it is now closed, but we don't yet know when. The only tangible reference I have been able to find to this former chapel is on late 19th century Old Maps, OS 1884 1:2,500, where it is labelled as "Baptist (Part.)". At first I thought the building indicated was the present day Village Hall, but looking more closely, I think this is what is marked on the same old Map as a Pottery. The Chapel is marked in a plot on the opposite (east) side of the road to this. It is not clear in the present day whether it has now been demolished, or indeed how long it may have remained open. Curiously, though it is still marked with a '+' on my OS Map of 1974 1:50,000 series, it is not mentioned in Kelly's Directory of 1923, and has not been noted later than 1884 on the more detailed Maps. The former pottery, now Village Hall, is shown on OS 1971-1975 1:2,500 as "Cranham F. Church (Congl.)", so it did make a brief appearance as a place of worship. Denomination Now or formerly Particular 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.
