Upton Cheyney is a village near to Bitton and Bristol in South Gloucestershire, England, in the parish of Bitton.[1] It has a population of about 140 in 60 households.[2] Upton Cheyney was designated as a conservation area on 24 October 1983.[3]
The name Upton Cheyney is thought to be derived from 'upper farmhouse'. Most of the buildings in the village were built between 1690 and 1830.[3]
Upton Cheyney United Reformed Church was established in 1834 as Upton Cheyney Chapel, building on a congregation that met in the home of William Clark, a local farmer.[4] Objectors who believed the parish church in Bitton was adequate had taken out a court injunction blocking the construction, which was eventually overturned by the Court of King's Bench in London.[5] In 1948, the Congregational Union of Gloucestershire and Hertfordshire became the trustees, and in 1966 a covenant was agreed with the Congregational Union of England and Wales which merged into the United Reformed Church in 1972.[6] The chapel closed on 10 September 2023.[7]
In 1849, a school was created at the back of the chapel for about forty local children. In 1894 this was replaced by a separate school with two classrooms built by the local school board, which closed in 1981.[8]
