Thank you, Jules, and I'm sorry I was so vague with my request. I believe, that as you leave Stroud you pass a hospital on the way to the chapel/church. I understand the graveyard is quite overgrown but there is a family plot of the LLEWELLYNS of Stroud within and as some of the family were married in the Primitive Methodist Chapel, Stroud, I assumed it was a chapel rather than a church because from what I was told the building had a steeple which rather complicates my request because I thought Chapels didn't have steeples! Do hope I have helped rather than hindered!!

Hi Margery, Have you tried the Mortuary Chapel on Bisley Road, it is sited on the Southern slope of Stroud Hill, and is now a Nature reserve, some areas are overgrown. It originally had 2 chapels with a spire erected on the site, as well as an entrance lodge. The ground was consecrated on the 1st September 1856 and the first interment took place on the 4th September. There were 130 tombs or other monumental memorials in this cemetery, and 1500 burials over a period of thirteen years and four months. You pass the hospital as you head out of Stroud to get to the cemetery, which also fits with what you have been previously told. The only thing I havent managed to find so far is the Llewellyn family plot, but I have this name in my husbands family tree so I am curious to see if there is a connection as they all hail from the Stroud area. The Primitive Chapel at Parliament street was being used as a theatre playhouse in 1999, not sure what it is used for now but it is minutes away from the Hospital and cemetery, they are all in very close proximity to each other. Could this be the one you are looking for? If I find anything more I will be in touch Kind Regards Jules ----- Original Message ----- From: "Margery Whitham" <margery@whitham.name> To: <gloucester@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, February 16, 2007 10:11 AM Subject: Re: [GLS] Chapel in Stroud. > Thank you, Jules, and I'm sorry I was so vague with my request.
