The first written record of Cam is in the Domesday Book 1086. The first mention of a church in Cam comes from 1131 when Roger Berkeley built and endowed an Augustinian Priory at Leonard Stanley. In 1156, the Priory became a "cell" of the Benedictine Abbey at Gloucester. About the year 1360, Thomas Horton, Abbot of Gloucester, is recorded as having enlarged the church. Between 1991 and 1999 a major programme of restoration and modernisation work was undertaken in order to preserve the building for future generations and to make it suitable for modern use.
More information on the church's history can be found on their website.
Our interest is that Statutory Records show relations buried here.
