Gorsley-Christ Church
Built in 1892 on an acre of land donated by the Onslow Trustees, at a time when The Onslow Estate owned a large part of the area and many farms and small holdings were their tenants. The foundation stone of the Church was laid on May 3rd 1892 by Miss Onslow of Newent and the stone for the building was taken from Mr. Onslow's quarry.
The Church remained largely unchanged for over 100 years until alterations were carried out in 1997 when an upper room was built at the west end of the Church and internal alterations including a new stair case, toilets and disabled access were added.
Sunday Services are held at 10:30 a.m. either morning worship or Holy Communion and on the last Sunday in the month is a Family Service.
Please ensure you stick to the paths and mown areas to avoid trampling the flora and fauna in the Church Yard.

If anybody would like to expand to this series please do, I would just ask that you could let Sadexploration know first so he can keep track of the Church numbers and names to avoid duplication.
