Cam Congregational Church

[4] Cam Independent Chapel for example was built in 1702 on land donated by the clothier William Hicks.

It also contains records of Dursley Water Street Charity School: accounts 1758-1887; trustees' minutes 1822-1873.

Thomas died in 1861, and Gazard[19] continued as pastor and bought the land for the Quarry Independent Chapel at the cost of £14 and oversaw the building being built for £130 and opened in 1852.

Williams stayed in ministry for twenty-one years, during which time a new Sweetland organ from Bath was installed at the cost of £200 in 1881.

In 1894, Rev David Truss[21] of the New Metropolitan Tabernacle,[22] London, became pastor and lived in the old Manse in Lower Cam.

Owen Griffiths[24] became pastor in March 1907, encouraging the membership to sign the Temperance Book and take "The Pledge" to abstain from all intoxicating drinks.

The first Minister to occupy the new Manse, situated next to the chapel in Church Road, was Rev Charles Llewellyn Allen.

Early in 1938, a scheme was established linking the ministries at Cam Meeting[26] and Cambridge Union Chapel[27] (now demolished) on the Bristol Road near Slimbridge.

Then a voluntary Lay Leadership Team (1990-2008) Baptist Evangelist Noel Fellowes became the minister of the newly formed 3C Community Church in 2008.

The upper floor of the attached schoolrooms and hall was converted into a three bedroomed flat for use if needed by future ministers.

Planning permission was granted and eighty-four chairs replaced the old pews in 1999 while retaining the U-shape balcony supported by seven slender Batty Langley-style cast iron columns, the central pulpit on the north wall with steps and dais, a Parliament clock from the 18th century and a Sweetland organ[37] (a two manual pedal instrument by Sweetland of Bath[38]) installed in 1881 at the cost of £200.
