Pensford Gospel Hall
Pensford Gospel Hall
Pensford's gospel faith really begins in the early twentieth century, when people would gather to read and worship in significant numbers. Missions from Bristol made visits and held oepn-air meetings near the viaduct. Soon, tents were used too, then a wooden hut which served for a time. However, when the movement gathered enough momentum a couple of old cottages on Old Road were purchased and demolished in 1958; this Gospel Hall became the meeting place and remains so today.

Update Feb '23: the hall has closed as a place of worship and planning permission to convert it into residential use has been approved.
