  • THE ANGLICAN CHURCH in NAILSWORTH an Ancient Chapelry
    THE ANGLICAN CHURCH IN NAILSWORTH By Richard Barton An Ancient Chapelry Of the four Christian communities in Nailsworth the Anglican Church may seem to have the least interesting history. The town has only been a distinct ecclesiastical parish since 1895 and its Grade II parish church is even more recent. The Society of Friends can boast of roots dating back to the mid seventeenth century and Christchurch not only has early Independent roots but its Baptist tradition claims descent from one of the largest rural Baptist meetings in the country. The Former Dominican Priory, just outside the parish boundary, was one of the most influential centres for nineteenth century Roman Catholicism in England. Nailsworth has since mediaeval times been associated with wool and the textile industry for one of the derivations for the Saxon name for the area ‘Naeglesleag Minor’, is ‘wool pasture’, ‘Naegle’ being the Saxon word for a weight of wool and ‘leag’ for a pasture or wood (1). Naeglesleag Minor is recorded in the early eighth century document in which a piece of land was granted by Ethelbald, King of the Southern English, to Wilfred of Worcester, the then diocesan bishop (2). By the time of the Norman conquest the area was held by Godda, Countess of Bologna, the sister of King Edward the Confessor. By the twelfth century the name of the hamlet had evolved into ‘Nailleswurd’ or ‘wool market’ (3). Until relatively recent times we must imagine the area as sparsely populated, thickly wooded valleys. The present town centre, Forest Green and Inchbrook lay within the Parish of Avening; Shortwood, Rockness, Newmarket, Chestnut Hill and Brewery Lane were parts of Horsley whilst Watledge and Scar Hill were situated in Michinhampton parish.
