Tuffley is a suburb in the city of Gloucester and one of the fifteen wards of the English city of Gloucester. The ward, which is non-parished and situated near Robinswood Hill toward the south of the city, has services including schools, shops and a park. Origins Tuffley is a suburb of Gloucester, in the county of Gloucestershire. Recorded as Tuffley, Tufley, Tufly, Tuffel, Tuffill and possibly others, this suburb was once a village mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086 as 'Tuffelege', which suggests a meaning of Tuffa's farm, with Tuffa being an Anglo-Saxon personal name.

St Georges Church, Gloucester
St George's Church is an Anglican church on Grange Road, Tuffley, Gloucester. Its worship style comprises common Anglican worship with seasonal variations. History The church was established in 1941, but did not have a hall until 1942, when Whaddon Church Hall, a wooden building, was moved to Grange Road. In 1947, a temporary church was built and, in 1948, it became a conventional district. In 1950, the temporary building was extended and the church was dedicated to Saint George. The vicarage house for the church was built in Grange Road in 1954. The brick church was built in 1956, it was designed to be a church hall and there were also plans for it to be connected to another bigger church via a cloister. However, the bigger church was never built so the new church hall became the main church building, and the old temporary church became the church hall. In 1967, the district became the parish of St George. In 1970 and 1971, the church hall was demolished and several new rooms we ...

FA Vase
The Football Association Challenge Vase, usually referred to as the FA Vase, is an annual football competition for teams playing in Steps 5 and 6 of the English National League System (or equivalently, tier 9 or 10 of the overall English football league system). For the 2017–18 season 619 entrants were accepted, with two qualifying rounds preceding the six proper rounds, semi-finals (played over two legs) and final to be played at Wembley Stadium. The 2022 winners were Newport Pagnell Town, who beat Littlehampton Town 3–0 at Wembley Stadium. History Until 1974, football players were either professionals or amateurs. Professionals were paid to play by their clubs, and the only cup competitions such clubs were allowed to enter were the FA Cup and, after 1969, for clubs outside the Football League, the FA Trophy. Amateurs, on the other hand, were not paid (at least not officially) by their clubs, and such clubs had their own cup competition, the FA Amateur Cup. In 1974 ...

Baptists
Baptists form a major branch of Protestantism distinguished by baptizing professing Christian believers only ( believer's baptism), and doing so by complete immersion. Baptist churches also generally subscribe to the doctrines of soul competency (the responsibility and accountability of every person before God), ''sola fide'' (salvation by just faith alone), ''sola scriptura'' (scripture alone as the rule of faith and practice) and congregationalist church government. Baptists generally recognize two ordinances: baptism and communion. Diverse from their beginning, those identifying as Baptists today differ widely from one another in what they believe, how they worship, their attitudes toward other Christians, and their understanding of what is important in Christian discipleship. For example, Baptist theology may include Arminian or Calvinist beliefs with various sub-groups holding different or competing positions, while others allow for diversity in this matter within t ...

St Barnabas Church, Gloucester
St Barnabas Church is a Grade II listed building located in Stroud Road, Gloucester, Gloucestershire, England. It was built in 1938–40 and obtained its Grade II status on 9 March 1982. The church's denomination is the Church of England. History As the population of the Tuffley area expanded in the early 20th century, the “Tuffley Conventional District” was formed in 1907, mostly from the Parish of St Paul's but also including parts of Matson and Hempstead. After the Tuffley School moved to its new building on Calton Road, its former building, built in 1881, was consecrated as a church and dedicated to Saint Barnabas, who had accompanied Saint Paul. It had become overcrowded by World War I, but postwar costs precluded the construction of a permanent church. In 1922, a large wooden building was constructed next to the old school, which became the temporary church of St Barnabas. This building is still present today and is used for various church activities. In 1930, St Barnab ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Church Of England
The Church of England (C of E) is the established Christian church in England and the mother church of the international Anglican Communion. It traces its history to the Christian church recorded as existing in the Roman province of Britain by the 3rd century and to the 6th-century Gregorian mission to Kent led by Augustine of Canterbury. The English church renounced papal authority in 1534 when Henry VIII failed to secure a papal annulment of his marriage to Catherine of Aragon. The English Reformation accelerated under Edward VI's regents, before a brief restoration of papal authority under Queen Mary I and King Philip. The Act of Supremacy 1558 renewed the breach, and the Elizabethan Settlement charted a course enabling the English church to describe itself as both Reformed and Catholic. In the earlier phase of the English Reformation there were both Roman Catholic martyrs and radical Protestant martyrs. The later phases saw the Penal Laws punish Ro ...

Including suburban areas, Gloucester has a population of around 132,000. It is a port, linked via the Gloucester and Sharpness Canal to the Severn Estuary.
