St Stephens Church, Cinderford

In this photo, St Stephens Church looks almost new. The trees have barely grown and the churchyard is empty. It was constructed in the early 1890s so the photo is probably prior to 1900.

Carole Ann Martyn added (July 2009): "... my grandparents were married in St. Stephen's Church in 1900. My grandmother was Catharine Webb and my grandfather was Henry George Dodwell. I visited this church in 1958 on a visit to my relatives in the U.K. My grandmother was born in Cinderford and my grandfather was born in Cheltenham. My father and his brother were born in Cheltenham. They and my grandparents emigrated to Toronto, Canada in 1910.My grandmother's father was a baker in Cinderford".
