Abbeytown, Cumbria, St. Mary. The parish church is the remaining fragment (the nave) of Holme Cultram Abbey (Cistercian). It was severely damaged by a fire on 9 June 2006. NY 1772 5082. © Steve Bulman. Link. Grade I listed. The Methodist Church was originally Wesleyan. NY 1726 5076. © Steve Bulman. Link. The church was offered for sale in late 2018 or early 2019, and an Estate Agents notice (no longer available), said it was built in 1869, although another source says 1858. The 1937-61 1" O.S. map marks the site of St. Christian's Chapel on the south bank of the River Waver, at NY 1719 5174. It would have stood somewhere near the distant hedge-line as seen in this 2011 Streetview. Link. Rob Kinnon-Brettle advises that there is known to have been a Salvation Army presence in the village in 1890, location unknown.

Older maps show that a Primitive Methodist Chapel once stood to the north of Back Street, at SY 5764 8543. It pre-dated a map of 1889, and according to this source it dated from 1799 as Congregational. After its closure as a church in 1925 it was eventually used for storage, and was severely damaged in a fire. Reportedly, the remains survive, but its site hasn't been seen by the Streetview van. Its replacement in 1925 was the now-demolished Methodist Church on West Street. Its closure is given here (where there is a photo) as 1984, with demolition following in 1985. It also describes as having stood where the garage is in this 2021 Streetview. SY 5745 8530.
Abbotsham, Devon, St. Helen. Another view. SS 4246 2642. Both © Chris Kippin (2024). Link. Grade II* listed. A tomb in the churchyard is listed as grade II. The Baptist Chapel (1832) is labelled as Rehoboth on old maps. SS 4235 2646. © Chris Kippin (2024). Link. Grade II listed.
Abbotskerswell, Devon, St. Mary. SX 8560 6875. From an old postcard in Reg Dosell's Collection. A modern view, © Chris Kippin (2023). Link. Grade II* listed. The lych-gate and several tombstones etc., are listed separately, for which see here. Old O.S. maps also show Baptist and Wesleyan Methodist Chapels. The Baptist shows on Stoneman's Hill at SX 8571 6888. There was housing on the site in 2009, when Streetview passed by. The Wesleyan stood nearby, on Vicarage Road at SX 8575 6885. It may survive in secular use, and was seen by Streetview in 2009. O.S. maps also show, about a mile to the E.N.E. of the village, R.C. Chapel (SX 8628 6906), and R.C. Church (SX 8644 6906), both part of St. Augustine's Priory which was closed in the 1980's (Wikipedia). The latter can be seen (distantly) on a 2022 Streetview, but I haven't found a photo of the chapel.
Abbotsley, Cambridgeshire, St. Margaret (K), which is in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust. Curiously, their website gives the dedication as St. Margaret, the canonised wife of King Malcolm III of Scotland, while the church website gives the dedication as St. Margaret of Antioch. TL 2277 5654. © Jim Rushton. Another view, © James Murray. Another view, two of the interior - 1, 2, the chancel, pulpit, a statue-corbel in the form of an angel, a rather fine niche arch, and the font, all © Chris Stafford (2013). Grade II* listed. A table tomb in the churchyard is also listed, as grade II. Older O.S. maps show a Wesleyan Methodist Chapel set well back of the road along the north side of High Green, at NZ 2266 5665. The National Archives references documents pertaining to the chapel for the years 1882-1952. Barely visible in the background of a 2021 Streetview, it can be slightly better seen here.

SO 2105 0224. © Gerard Charmley (2011). Its Coflein entry dates it to 1889, re-built in 1905. It doesn't seem to have an internet presence, so may have closed. Aberbeeg straddles the county boundary, so for Christchurch, see Caerphilly.
Aberbeeg, Caerphilly, Christchurch. Coflein dates it to 1907-9, successor as parish church to St. Illtyd. A 2012 news item, discussing its proposed closure, states that it was then 102 years old. Its lack of internet presence suggests that it did indeed close. SO 2075 0160. © Gerard Charmley (2011). Grade II listed.

Aberfeldy, Perth & Kinross, the former Congregational Church of 1877, on The Square. The congregation dates from 1790, and they moved into a newly-built church on Chapel Street in 1820, which they used until 1878.

It must stand on the site of a predecessor, as a map of 1849 shows it. At the southern end of the village is St. Wilfrid's Priory (R.C.). Marked on older maps as Roman Catholic Chapel, lack of a website suggests that it may now be "former". SE 4337 3651. © David Regan (2024).

Abergavenny, Monmouthshire.
Abergele, Conwy.
Abergwesyn, Powys, Pantycelyn Baptist Chapel. SN 893 537. © Simon Atkin. Abergwesyn historically had two parish churches (in different parishes), one on each side of the river - St. David to its west, and St. Michael to its east, as shown on a map here (Llanddewi = St. David, Llanfihangel = St. Michael). The two parishes were united in 1885. St. David had already fallen out of use (the last service had been held in 1865), and it had been demolished by the time of the 1888-9 O.S. map, where it is marked as "Remains of". The Coflein entry includes an old photo, and says that, in 1977, some low walls of the church were still visible. St. Michael has also gone, the Coflein entry giving dates of a re-build of the medieval church in 1871, and demolition in 1964. All that remains today on the site is a graveyard with some ancient yews, and a fine Celtic cross, which is grade II listed. A circa 1950 Francis Frith photo of the church is available here. SN 8544 5266. Both © Paul Wood (2015). Moriah Independent Chapel is still extant. Exterior and interior photos are available in the Coflein entry, which also provides dates as follows - originally dating from 1828, it was re-built in 1867, and was active until the early years of the present century, closing before 2010. A 2011 Streetview. SN 8537 5258.
Abergwili, Carmarthenshire, St. David. Another view. According to local legend, the finial atop the spire was made from a stone to which the stake had been fixed for the execution by burning of Bishop Ferrar in 1555, during the Marian persecutions. SN 4398 2086. All © Janet Gimber (2018). Link. Coflein entry. Grade II listed. Capel y Ebeneser Annibynwyr (Independent). Its Coflein entry dates the present building to 1900, but it also says "has foundation/memorial stones of 1927", which seems odd. SN 4371 2107. © Mike Berrell (2009). Coflein also mentions predecessor chapels of 1815 and 1834. The 25" O.S. map of 1906 shows Capel Ebenezer (Free United) a short distance from the site of the later chapel, at SN 4374 2111, which was perhaps one of these. Streetview saw the industrial/commercial building (the low building behind the garages) on its site in 2023.

Aberlady, East Lothian, the Parish Church. NT 4619 7985. © Bill Henderson. A winter view, and the East Window, both © Revd. Norman Faulds. Norman advises that the central panel of the window is based on Botticelli's "Madonna and Child" which is now in the National Gallery of Scotland. The fabric of the church is late C15 (tower), C16 and C17 (aisles), with a Victorian renovation (1887). Link. Category A listed. PoWiS. Older maps show a United Presbyterian Church, pre-dating one of 1854, and it had gone out of use in the first half of the lasy century. Unfortunately none of the available maps are entirely clear which building the label is meant to apply to, but I think it probably stood on the west side of The Wynd, at NT 4651 8000. If this is correct, it has been demolished, and the site is now a parking area (2024 Streetview). A little way east of the village O.S. maps mark Convent (Remains of) at NT 4711 8015. Its PoWiS entry calls it Luffness Carmelite Monastery. Some photos can be seen here, where it's called Luffness Friary. Canmore.

The National Archives references documents pertaining to the chapel for the years 1884-1951. The bungalow on the site was seen by Streetview in 2022 - it's called Old Chapel 1826, so is presumably the converted chapel, though there's nothing obvious to confirm this. However a photo of the chapel in circa 1906 can be seen here, and shows what appears to be the same roof.
