Ancient Order of Foresters

Inscribed stone on the Truro Gospel Chapel, The Leats, Truro, Cornwall.

Truro Gospel Chapel is on the southern side of The Leats (which runs parallel and behind River Street), approximately opposite the Tredegar Gardens path. The modern Emmanuel Full Gospel International Church congregation meets in a building which was erected in 1860. It lies behind the Bethesda chapel on River Street (see below). The inscription ‘AOF court one and all’ suggests that this building was originally a lodge (called ‘Courts’) for the Ancient Order of Foresters.
