St John the Evangelist, Cinderford
St John the Evangelist, Cinderford
Parish church, dating from 1844. It cost £2694 11 shillings 4 pence to build. A very full history written by a previous vicar is on the parish site LinkExternal link (Archive LinkExternal link ) . This details everything from the despair of the Victorian clergy over "the lawlessness and laxity of morals" of the locals and the efforts of local worthies to get land for a church, right up to the replacement of the chancel carpets in 2005.
