You need not be too concerned. Firstly there is a chance that the deeds will be kept by the lender or they may be archived with the conveyancers who handled your purchase. Secondly in all probability the property will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing solicitors procuring current official copies of the land registers. Almost all conveyancing in Dursley involves registered property but in the rare situation where your property is unregistered it is more tricky but is resolvable.
