The Salvation Army set up a branch in Tetbury in 1884. Some of the ‘soldiers’ listed in the War Cry of 1885 were William Bignell, an agricultural labourer from Harper Street, Mrs Cooley, wife of Isaac, ‘brother’ Fisher [either William or Frederick] who ran an outfitters on Church Street, Mrs Millard, wife of Aaron, and John Smith, a labourer aged 22. A false charge of rape was aimed at William Smith, but he was found not guilty, and complained the charges were levied against him because he belonged to the Army. The Salvation Army hall was located initially in The Chipping. By 1890 they were no longer in the town but returned in the 1920s, to a hut located at the junction of Cottons Lane and West [Harper] Street. |
