My Grandmother was born Horse Pool Bottom Gloucester. Would like to know the name of the local church for that area.
Thank you.

Abenhall would "probably" be the closest church

Horsepools is a hamlet/village between Gloucester and Stroud on the A4173.It is next door to Edge and not far from Harescombe.I am sorry I do not know the name of the church but it is nowhere near Abenhall as suggested by Slowhands.Abenhall is adjacent to Mitcheldean and about 15 miles from Horsepools.If I can identify the church name later I will let you know.
Happy searching.

There is a Horsepools Hill coming down from Stroud into Whaddon , Gloucester,
However there is also a Horsepool Bottom , near Shapridge / Abenhall, i.e. buried in the Forest - off the beaten track but I assure you its there !
