History

Gloucester National Spiritualist Church was formed when the congregation split from the Gloucester First Spiritualist Church in April 1954. This was due to some people wanting to be members of the National Spiritualist Union, while others did not. Initially services were held in a basement room.

On Sunday 14 June 1959, the church committee were informed that a building with a meeting room was up for sale on Brunswick Square. This room was formerly used by the Christian Brethren. [2] On Sunday 31 March 1962, the new church building was opened. In 1979, gas central heating was installed and, in 1981, a water supply was installed. [3] [4]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Gloucester Cathedral</span> Church in Gloucester, England

Gloucester Cathedral, formally the Cathedral Church of St Peter and the Holy and Indivisible Trinity, in Gloucester, England, stands in the north of the city near the River Severn. It originated with the establishment of a minster, Gloucester Abbey, dedicated to Saint Peter and founded by Osric, King of the Hwicce, in around 679. The subsequent history of the church is complex; Osric's foundation came under the control of the Benedictine Order at the beginning of the 11th century and in around 1058, Ealdred, Bishop of Worcester, established a new abbey "a little further from the place where it had stood". The abbey appears not to have been an initial success, by 1072, the number of attendant monks had reduced to two. The present building was begun by Abbott Serlo in about 1089, following a major fire the previous year.
