Former Blakeney United Reformed Church
Image: © Jaggery Taken: 3 Feb 2013
Located on the east side of Cinderford Road. The inscription in stone above the doorway is INDEPENDENT CHAPEL and above it, the year 1849. The Gloucestershire Archives record that in December 1825 a church was formed in Blakeney of the Independent or Congregational Order and was subsequently admitted to the Gloucestershire Association of Independent Churches. In 1848 the church was rebuilt. The new building was opened for worship in 1849. In 1972 Blakeney Congregational Church became part of the United Reformed Church after joining the National Union of Churches. It remained technically a United Reformed Church until closure in September 1987, despite wishing to become an independent congregation following a dispute in 1975.
