For listed features in the churchyard, see
here. A former Methodist Chapel stands on Tower
Hill at SU 4128 7766. It's labelled on a map of 1899 as Wesleyan, and on large
scale maps, it can be seen to have consisted of two separate buildings. The more
northerly one, is seen here
by Streetview in 2010. Its neighbour stood where the
house driveway is, seen in
2011. Whether these were both chapels, or a chapel and a schoolroom is unclear.
Map evidence suggests it was closed by 1959.

A former Wesleyan Methodist
Chapel (or the building which replaced it) stands on Graces Lane at SU
4772 7377. It was seen by
Streetview in 2009.
Genuki has dates of "founded before 1804" and closing "after 1915". The
village also had a Primitive Methodist Chapel, on
High Street, at SU 4757 7389. It has a date-stone for 1914.
Link says it was closed in the 1970's. The same source dates its predecessor
to 1804. This must surely be the P.M. Chapel marked on a map of 1899 on Green
Lane at SU 4765 7355. Evidently demolished, its
site was seen by Streetview
in 2009.

Genuki,
which says it was Baptist, provides dates of "before 1877" to "closed before
1912". Streetview saw the
site in 2012 - does anything of the chapel survive? The village also has a
former Methodist Church, on Newbury Lane at SU 5178
7969. Streetview saw it in
2009, where a date-stone can be seen (not closely enough to read it), with
another sign below saying Rebuilt 1869. It was Primitive Methodist, with
Genuki
dating it to "before 1836" to "after 1979".

Primitive Methodist Chapel less than ¼ of a mile to the north of the

Grade II listed. Ebenezer Primitive Methodist Chapel
shows on old maps a little way west of the village, at SU 4543 7740.
It's dated
here (where there is a photo) to 1831, with an enlargement in 1853.
Demolished in 1922, the bungalow on the site was seen by
Streetview in 2011.
It was succeeded by Memorial Chapel
(there's a photo of this chapel too, on the afore-mentioned source).
Whether it was on the same site isn't clear, however there is another
place of worship shown on Field Road on mid-20th century maps at SU 4575
7741. If it wasn't the Memorial Chapel, what was it? This has also been
demolished, and its site was seen by
Streetview in 2011.

From an old postcard in Judy Flynn's collection.
Link.
Grade II listed. The 25" O.S. map of 1912 shows Zion
Baptist Chapel on The Coombe, at SU 5881 8071. It's dated
here to circa 1870, "replaced by a new chapel in 1931" and "closed
in the 1980's", and "The site is now occupied by a private house".
Whether it replaced the old chapel on the same site is unclear, but in any event
I can't find another place of worship on the 1" O.S. map of 1960, when the newer
church was allegedly still active. The building on the 1870 site (is this the
old chapel?) can be seen on a
Streetview of 2009.
Stubbings, St. James the Less (1849-50). The postcard of
"Stebbings" Church had been on the website
for rather a long time, listed under Stebbing, Essex. The Rev. Tim Goodbody, of
Stebbing, has been in touch to say that this isn't his church. I listed it under
Stebbing rather than Stebbings because I couldn't find any trace of a Stebbings
place-name in the UK, and under Essex, because I could find only one Stebbing.
We have Sue Hedger to thank for solving this mystery - it is in fact Stubbings,
in Berkshire. Sue says
she isn't aware of a name change, so this has to be lain
at the door of the postcard manufacturer for getting it wrong! Older O.S. maps
label it as St. Philip and St. James. From an old postcard in Steve Bulman's

The small scale of the maps means that one can't be too precise about its exact
location, but it was somewhere near
here (Streetview, 2016).
