My mums family are buried in the church. Does anyone have a contact for the vicar or know of any burial plans of the churchyard please? Would like to find Dulcie and Roland Evans, their young son Royston and also Godfrey Morgan.

I am trying to find out the days and hours the Church of the Holy Jesus in Lydbrook is open, and an email address of someone I can contact regarding this church. So far I have been unsuccessful in finding anything online. Does anyone happen to have this information? Thank you

My husband's ancestors were married there in 1874 by Henry T. Hoitt, Vicar. Their entry in the old family bible reads "Married at the Church of the Holy Jesus, in the Parish of Lydbrook, Dean Forest, in the County of Gloucester..."

I would love to see pictures of the inside of the parish.

Sorry Sylvia,

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

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
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

Sylvia

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.

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

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
