Boasley Cross, Devon, Methodist Church. It's marked on older maps as Bible Christian. SX 5000 9362. © Chris Kippin (2023). It stands just a few yards north of an earlier Bible Christian Chapel (within the churchyard), at SX 4999 9357. In this 2011 Streetview the present church is at left - the earlier chapel stood close to the road at the far end of the churchyard.

Boddington, Gloucestershire, St. Mary Magdalene. SO 8944 2520. © Graeme Harvey. Grade I listed.
Boddington, Northamptonshire, St. John the Baptist. Two additional views - 1, 2, and an interior. SP 482 532. Grade I listed. Methodist Chapel, built as Wesleyan in 1866. An extension of 1885 (the date commemorated, unusually, in the brickwork) was originally the Sunday School. The porch, which is not shown on a map of 1884-5, may be of the same date. Another view. SP 481 536. Link. All © Howard Richter (2015).
Bodelwyddan, Denbighshire, St. Margaret. SJ 0041 7546. © Frank Joinson. An old postcard view, from Reg Dosell's Collection. Another old postcard view, this one of the nave. From Steve Bulman's Collection. Another old postcard, this one from Paul E. Barnett's Collection. Link.

Bodenham, Herefordshire, St. Michael and All Angels, has a fine weather-vane. Another view of the church. All © Graeme Harvey. Another view, and the remains of the churchyard cross, both © Paul Wood (2017), and an interior view, © Aidan McRae Thomson. The former Wesleyan Methodist Chapel. The My Wesleyan Methodist entry gives it a date of pre-1885, and also has photos of the preceding chapel. SO 5451 5061. © Paul Wood (2001).
Bodenstown, Co. Kildare, the ruins of the ancient parish church. The graveyard holds the remains of Wolfe Tone, the Irish patriot and revolutionary. © Bruce Read.
Bodernabwy, Gwynedd, Aberdaron New Church (closed). This site has a little history. Two additional views - 1, 2, and the tower stairs. SH 175 273. All © Dennis Harper (2013).
Bodfari, Denbighshire, St. Stephen. SJ 0925 7012. © Martin Briscoe. Another view, © Carl Hogan. Despite having been painted since Martin took his photo, Carl says it seemed to be in disrepair, so possibly no longer in use. Added in 2024 - an apparently live church website suggests that it still active. Link.
Grade II* listed. The lych-gate is also listed, as grade II. A map of 1880 shows Bethel Chapel (Wesleyan Methodist). The building on the site was seen by Streetview in 2023 - it's not apparent whether anything of the chapel survives. SJ 0975 7025. By the time of a 1900 map Bethel was no longer a place of worship, and is now labelled Wesley Villa. Also shown a short distance to the S.E. is another chapel, unfortunately not identified other than Chap. I suspect that it was the successor to Bethel; its Coflein entry seems to conflate the two chapels. Still marked with a "+" on a map of 1961, it has since been demolished. Had it survived it would have stood to the right of the white house, and a little further back from the road (2023 Streetview). SJ 0980 7024.
Bodham, Norfolk, the medieval All Saints on Church Road, which underwent a restoration in 1893-4. TG 125 389. Link1. Link2. Grade II* listed. The former Methodist Church on Cromer Road. Pre-dating the 1887 O.S. map, it was sold in 2008 and has since been converted to residential use. TG 125 401. Both © Richard Roberts (2018).
Bodiam, East Sussex, St. Giles on Levetts Lane. Originally a chapelry to St. James the Great at Ewhurst, most of the fabric appears to be C13, though there may be earlier work. Another view. TQ 7824 2619. Both © Carole Sage (2016). Link. A good history here. Grade II* listed.
Bodicote, Oxfordshire, is dedicated to St. John the Baptist. SP 459 377. © Steve Bulman.
Bodilly, Cornwall,
the former Wesleyan Methodist Chapel. SW 6756 3191. © Paul E. Barnett (2015). O.S. maps mark St. Henry's Chapel (Site of) a little way to the north-west, at SW 6685 3211. Its site hasn't been seen by Streetview, and although it's mentioned frequently on numerous websites, nothing other than its existence is noted.
Bodinnick, Cornwall, St. John the Baptist, converted from a former stable. Interior view. Circa SX 1300 5218. Both © Paul E. Barnett (2017). Link. A little way to the east is marked on O.S. maps Chapel (Remains of), at SX 1332 5209. A photo is available here, where it's described as medieval, dedicated to St. John the Baptist.

Bodney, Norfolk, St. Mary. TL 830 986. © Richard Roberts (2017). Link.
Bodwen, Cornwall, the former Ebenezer Bible Christian Chapel (later Methodist), now in secular use. It stands about a quarter of a mile S.E. of the hamlet. This source (select number 4) provides dates of 1859 to 1979. A 2011 Streetview. SX 0358 6027. © Paul E. Barnett (2021).
Bogallan, Highland, the Free Church. © Martin Briscoe.
Bognor Regis, West Sussex, St. Mary Magdalene at South Bersted. Previously in the "Unknown" section, my thanks to Phil Draper for the identification. From Steve Bulman's Collection. Link1. Link2. Another Bognor mystery was sent in by Peter Boyce who wanted to learn where this painting was produced. It's by R. O. Dunlop R.A. whose floruit was in the 1950's and 1960's. He lived near Chichester, and painted widely in Sussex and further afield in southern England. Colin Waters identified the painting on this website, and it is called "Old Street, Bognor". Unfortunately, there isn't a thoroughfare called Old Street in Bognor, so this is just a generic old street. In a fine piece of detective work, Tony Preston has also been looking into this church. He points out that the website included earlier in this entry also has an image of a page from a magazine, wherein the painting is shown, with the title Old Bognor Street, rather than Old Street, Bognor, supporting my assumption that Old Street as such doesn't exist. It also includes a hand-written date of 1956 for the painting. He has sent a link (here) to a website describing the church of St. John the Baptist, built in 1821, with a tower added circa 1834. The church itself was demolished 1891, but the tower was left standing until 1961 (i.e. after the painting was made). This link shows two postcards (scroll down) of Waterloo Gardens, both showing the church in the background, a good match for the painting. An old map shows St. John the Baptist's tower standing on Market Street, and comparing the painting with the map, I suspect that the view is from what was then Chapel Street, to the north of Market Street. Note that Chapel Street has since been re-routed from its original course. [Peter - the email address I have for you is invalid, so I hope you see this].

Bolehill, Derbyshire, the former Methodist Chapel (originally Primitive)on Bolehill Road. This source dates it to 1852, replacing an un-located earlier chapel. Another source says it closed in 2010. SK 2924 5499. © Gerard Charmley (2011).
Bolenowe, Cornwall,
the former Free United Methodist Church. From map evidence, the church was built between 1880 and 1908. SW 6738 3790. © Paul E. Barnett (2016). A Wesleyan Methodist Chapel stood at SW 6723 3790. A private residence now stands on the site, but whether this is a conversion from the old chapel, or the old chapel demolished and the present building put up is unclear. Its appearance favours the latter. The National Archives has references to documents relating to the chapel from 1892-1950. © Paul E. Barnett (2018).
Bolham, Devon, the former Congregational Chapel, which pre-dates a map of 1889. Another view. SS 9515 1486. Both © Chris Kippin (2023).
Bolham Water, Devon, a former chapel.
Heath advises that it has a date-stone which reads "B.G. 1831". ST 1675 1225. © Heath Nickels (2016). Visible in the 2009 Streetview, but evidently removed by the time of Heath's visit, is a board announcing the chapel as "Blackdown Hills Mission, Bolham". On the 25" O.S. map of 1903-4 it's labelled as Baptist Chapel.

Boltby, North Yorkshire,
Holy Trinity. © Bill Henderson. Link. The former Wesleyan Methodist Chapel. It was converted to residential use on or before 2008. It dates to before 1912 (from map evidence), and was preceded by an earlier chapel at circa SE 4912 8658. This earlier chapel shows on a map of 1856-7, and was still present on the 1893 edition. A possible candidate is visible on Streetview at the end of the lane on the right hand side - click here, and drag and drop the little yellow man on the road exactly where it crosses the stream.

Bolton Low Houses, Cumbria,
former chapel, now a private residence. Janet Gimber advises that this was Wesleyan Methodist. It's dated here to 1881, possibly incorporating fabric from a known predecessor of 1817, shown to have been on the same site by a map of 1868. NY 2375 4434. © Philip Kapp. The 1901 6" O.S. map has a label for a Mission Room at Brough Hill, a short way west of Bolton Low Houses. Not indicating precisely which building is meant, Streetview reveals that the building was still standing in 2009. We can then determine the grid reference as NY 2351 4417. A short distance south of the village is the site of a Friends' Meeting House, NY 2386 4416. The rectangular boundary wall can be seen here on a 2009 Streetview - the building itself stood at the rear left corner. A photo of a date-stone of 1700 for the burial ground can be seen here. This source dates the meeting house to 1702, with closure in 1874 and demolition in 1904. A Primitive Methodist "preaching place" is listed here, but it's location is unknown.

Originally Wesleyan, a quotation from a directory of 1848 mentions it. Wikipedia dates the congregations founding to 1832. © David Regan (2022). Link. The former Free Christian Church on Priory Road is now in commercial use. This source says it pre-dates a map of 1930. SE 4542 0282. © David Regan (2022). The site (the house with dormer windows) of the demolished Primitive Methodist Chapel, on Angel Street and Mexborough Road. It pre-dates a map of 1901. SE 4563 0239. © David Regan (2022). The town's Wikipedia entry mentions a Roman Catholic Church on Station Road, "closed in the late 1980's", and now "an electrical goods shop". It can be seen in a Streetview from 2018. SE 4539 0271.

Bolton-le-Sands, Lancashire.
Bolventor, Cornwall,
the former Holy Trinity. SX 1802 7654. © Paul E. Barnett (2015). The former Bible Christian Chapel at St. Luke's, as seen by Streetview in 2009. A downloadable thesis (pdf file, p. 360) dates it to 1858 (a re-build of an earlier chapel of 1829; and enlarged in 1891). There's also a photo. SW 1951 7643. Grade II listed. Nearby, O.S. maps indicate St. Luke's Chapel (Remains of), at SW 1946 7643. The building which seems to be intended can be seen here in a Streetview from 2021. It seems modern, so does anything of the chapel remain? I've been unable to discover anything about it.

Bonchurch, Isle of Wight, St. Boniface. © Bill McKenzie. Previously in the "Unknown" section, this image dates from around 1932, from Colin Waters' Collection. Thanks to Bill Davison who has identified it. This old postcard dates to no later than 1918 (it has a 1/2d. stamp - the postal rate increased to 1d. in June 1918). From Shayne van Rensburg's Collection. Melvyn Hunter advises that this church was the one from which Airfix produced their model - some photos of the model can be seen here.
Bondleigh, Devon, St. James the Apostle. Interior view. SS 6511 0484. Link. Grade I listed. A cross in the churchyard and a headstone are listed separately - they can be found here. Gospel Hall (Plymouth Brethren). It pre-dates a map of 1873-88, where it's labelled as Chapel (Nonconformist), but on a map of 1905 it's shown as Plymouth Brethren Chapel. All © Chris Kippin (2021).

The oldest available on-line map (1884) shows it as Primitive Methodist, in 1900 as a Temperance Hall, 1920's maps show it as secular, and by the mid-20th century as an un-labelled place of worship, and Gerard photographed it as AoG in 2011. In 2024 it was being labelled as Village Life Church on Google Maps. This source dates it to 1852, originally as Primitive Methodist. SK 2782 5846. © Gerard Charmley (2011).

Borrowdale, Cumbria, St. Andrew, as seen by Streetview in 2016. Older maps label it as Holy Trinity. NY 2580 1399. Link. The About Us tab dates it to a re-build in 1762 of a chapel of ease of 1687, replacing a predecessor (location not mentioned) recorded in 1505. A transcription of a newspaper (the Carlisle Patriot, 17 April 1824) has the following - Last week, while the workmen were employed in pulling down the old chapel in Borrowdale, they discovered a freestone with 1125 cut upon it in very legible characters, which, no doubt, indicate the year the building was erected. The same stone also contains an inscription, but in consequence of several of the letters being effaced it has not yet been deciphered. I've not been able to find mention of this anywhere else, so don't know where it was - can you advise?

It has a date-stone for 1825, and was Wesleyan (source). A map of 1884 labels it as Methodist Chapel (United) however. SX 0997 9075. © Chris Kippin (2024). The church website says that it is the second on the site. I did wonder if the adjacent building (up the hill) is the predecessor - seen here, also in 2009, but it's marked on maps as a school. A so far unidentified Chapel stands or stood on Dunn Street, at SX 0988 9078. Streetview saw it in 2009. Whether this is the converted chapel or a building erected on its site, is unclear. Another former Chapel stands on Mount Pleasant. It has a date-stone for 1859 and was seen by Streetview in 2021. The 25" O.S. map of 1907 shows a Misn. Rm. (Mission Room) at SX 0996 9068 on Fore Street. The best view on Streetview (2009) is here - I don't know if this is the former Mission Room, or a later building on its site. O.S. maps mark, almost directly behind the Mission Room, St. James's Chapel (Site of), at SX 0994 9068. It's site can't be seen on Streetview.

The 1905-6 O.S. map shows that the Sunday School was immediately south of the chapel, and projecting a little further forward. It can be seen here on a 2012 Streetview.

Brearley, West Yorkshire, the former Particular Baptist Chapel. Two additional views - 1, 2. SE 0250 2591. All
© David Regan (2021). It was successor to an earlier Chapel, known as Bethel Baptist Church, and Little Faith, which still stands (converted) a short distance away on Brearley Lane at SE 0263 2586. Little Faith is because it was designed to be easily convertible into housing should the chapel fail. Indeed, this later became necessary when the chapel succeeded and became too small for the congregation. It also dates it to 1845, though this may be in doubt because it goes on to say that the chapel was established after some congregants left Ebenezer in Hebden Bridge to start a new chapel in Brearley in 1846. Also, the text on its Geograph entry says that the date-stone appears to say 1843. Unfortunately, though a photo of it can be seen here, I can't decide if it was 1843 or 1845. © Gerard Charmley (2022).

However, the RCAHMW entry says "built in 1820 and rebuilt 1888". It also says it was converted "by 1998". Howard Richter advises that the 1877 O.S. map doesn't show a building on the current site, though there is a smaller, un-named building a few yards away. By the 1899 map, this has been demolished, so it's a reasonable assumption that this was the 1820 chapel. It would have stood about where the yellow bush is in the photo. SS 9115 8394. © Gervase N.

In a Streetview from 2011, I think the chapel (or its site) is the single storey building at the left. It was replaced by a shed by 2021 (Streetview).

A little way S.W. of St. Mary is the site of a Chapel, at TM 4922 9362. Genuki calls it St. John, and says there are "remains". Certainly older O.S. maps mark some walls, but nothing is apparent on a 2019 Streetview which shows its site. A former Methodist Chapel stands on Mill Road, on the southern fringe of the village, at TM 4674 9335. Built as Wesleyan, it's dated here to 1815-1979. It was seen by Streetview in 2019. The village hall is the former Primitive Methodist Chapel. TM 4695 9348. Its Genuki entry dates it to 1864-1944. Streetview saw it in 2019. A former Mission Room (called by Genuki Mission Chapel of the Good Shepherd and dating it to 1903 to "before 2000") stands on Pit Road as TM 4665 9365. It was seen by Streetview in 2011.

Another view, the interior and wagon roof, which the listing says is original. All © Chris Kippin (2021)
Bury Hill, Herefordshire, Methodist Church, which is said to date from the 1820's. It certainly pre-dates the earliest map available to me, the 1888-9. And according to the My Wesleyan Methodists entry, it also pre-dates a tithe map of 1838. SO 6412 2342. © Paul Wood (2001).

About ½ a mile south of the church are the remains of Butley Augustinian Priory. Not seen by Streetview, there are photos on its Wikipedia entry. TM 375 492. And about ½ a mile south-east of the church is a former Methodist Chapel. A map of 1887 labels it as Wesleyan. Another map, of 1955, shows it as still active, but it had gone out of use by the time of a map of 1960. It was seemingly in residential use when seen by Streetview in 2009. TM 3798 4966.

Butterleigh, Devon, St. Matthew. Another view, and the interior. SS 9748 0815. All © Chris Kippin (2021). Link. Grade II* listed. Older O.S. maps show a Baptist Church a little way north of the village, at SS 9758 0834. It post-dates a map of 1873-88. A larger building, but with the same footprint at its southern end, now occupies the site. It was seen by Streetview in 2009, and it can be compared with an old photo available here (scroll down), where it says the chapel burnt down. The end nearest the camera was either incorporated into the re-build, or was built as a copy of the old building.

The former Wesleyan Methodist Chapel on Mill Lane has a date-stone for 1901. This source advises of an earlier chapel of 1815 (enlarged 1856), but doesn't say if it was at the same location or not.
TF 3853 4518. © David Regan (2020). The same source mentions another chapel of 1862 to circa 1930, which stood on Church Road at TF 3871 4485. Old O.S. maps fail to show the denomination, but the Genuki entry for the village names it as United Free Methodist. Its site can be seen here in a 2019 Streetview.

Bwlch-derwin, Gwynedd, the former Calvinistic Methodist chapel, now converted to residential use. Another view. SH 461 469. Both © Howard Richter (2014). Link. The property was for sale in 2010, so the chapel must have closed no later than this. The Estate Agents sale notice has interior photos (greyed out, unfortunately).
Bwlch-Llan, Ceredigion, Chapel (Calvinistic Methodist, 1876 date-stone). According to Coflein, this was a re-build of a predecessor of 1841. Two interior views - 1, 2. SN 5797 5878. All © Mike Berrell (2012).

Bwlch-y-fadfa, Ceredigion, Unitarian Chapel. Coflein dates it to an original chapel of 1813, with re-builds in 1830, 1850, 1874 & 1905 (which seems excessive!). Two interior views- 1, 2. SN 4375 4947. All © Mike Berrell (2012). The church website says
The original 'Meeting House' style of chapel stands about 100 metres away and is now converted into cottages. This may be the place of worship shown on a map of 1952 a little way to the north-west, at SN 4363 4951, and seen by Streetview in 2023.

Bwlch yr Haiarn, Conwy, an Outdoor Education Centre - possibly a former chapel? SH 7783 5942. © Martin Briscoe. Janet Gimber advises that it was Capel Horeb (Calvinistic Methodist). Its brief Coflein entry dates it to 1852 - however, this source says "A chapel was established here in 1852. In 1873 a new chapel was built to the designs of Richard Owens". Another view, © Martin

Bwlchygwynt, Carmarthenshire, Baptist Chapel. It has a date stone giving various dates as follows - Built 1756, re-built 1799, enlarged 1841, altered 1861, and "new seated" in 1863. SN 2151 1386. © Peter Morgan (2011). Link. Coflein.
