Church of the Holy Jesus - Lydbrook (General)
I would like to find out if this church is still in use. If someone is familiar with this church, would you please let me know if it has changed much, and if there are interior pictures of it anywhere?
Also, has anyone come across a picture of Rev. Henry Hoitt?
Thank you very much for you help.
Sincerely,
K. Thatcher

My grandparents were married in Lydbrook parish church in 1896. The vicar was H.T.Hoitt. Was this the church called Holy Jesus?

The parish church of Lydbook is called the Church of the Holy Jesus. If you read the History of Lydbrook which I mentioned in my previous message above you will find Rev. H.T.Hoitt mentioned in the list of priests at the church.

Hi
Thank you for the info. I wasnt sure if Holy Jesus was the only parish church in Lydbrook as it seemed to be in Joys Green rather than Lydbrook . But of course, Joys Green is a part of Lydbrook, isn`t it?
Thanks again and best wishes

Holy Jesus is down in the valley ( central Lydbrook) ,Vention, Joys Green, Horse Lea ,Moorwood, Reddings etc all sit up above Holy Jesus.
Joys Green Rd leads into Church Hill and Church Rd, as you drive down from Joys Green towards Holy Jesus.

Hi May
Thanks for your kind reply I`ll have a look. I`m imposing on your kindness by asking you if you have had a chance to ask your friend about the lord mayors of Ruardean and in particular if there is a William ALLAWAY mentioned
thanks again and best wishes

Sorry Sylvia,
There is nothing new to report on the Mayors of Ruardean. I will be in touch if I find anything.
