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.

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].

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.

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

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?

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

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.

Previously in the "Unknown" Section, this old postcard (from Reg Dosell's

it has a church of the same name, though different appearance. This

And Janet Gimber has confirmed that this is the correct identification.

Brearley, West Yorkshire, the former

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

decide if it was 1843 or 1845. © Gerard Charmley

The former Peniel Independent

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.

Coflein
has it as Wesleyan Methodist, dating from 1887-1980's, and replacing a
predecessor of 1824. In a

still active in 1959, as it's labelled as a Meth. Chap. on a map of that

Grade II* listed. 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.

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.

Grade I listed. 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.

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.

The
