Grade I listed. The 1902 6" O.S. map of 1902 marks a Chapel at TL 1858 7600.
This was Wesleyan, as can be seen in a
2016 Streetview. I can find
no useful information about the chapel on the internet, except to say that old
maps show that it was built before 1888, and it seems to have still been active
into the 1970's. It now appears to be in residential use.

Grade I listed. A Congregational Chapel is
marked on old maps, at TL 5865 5069. It pre-dated a map of 1886, and seems to
have remained in use until 1960 at least. This

here, and its site can be seen on a
Streetview from 2016. The
same source also mentions a Primitive Methodist Chapel
of 1859-1896, but I haven't been able to locate it on maps of the period.

Estate
Agent's notice, planning permission for conversion was granted in 2016. A
map of 1886 shows this older chapel, which stands or stood on Church Lane, south
of the church. Exactly which building is being labelled is unclear, and
Streetview doesn't give a view, so I can't say if it survives. It stood at circa

Grade I listed. Older maps mark an unspecified Chapel
on Station Road at TL 4102 4835. It survives, and is the former Methodist
Chapel, seen here in a
Streetview of 2011. It was evidently Wesleyan, as it has a very brief
entry on the My Wesleyan Methodists website. This
source says it was closed
in 2007, but that Methodist services continue to be held in the village hall,
which is on Hardman Road, seen
here on Streetview in 2008. The VCH dates what is likely to be this chapel
to 1880, and mentions an earlier Wesleyan Chapel of circa 1825 on Stocker's
Lane. Stocker's Lane is now called Station Road (source),
so perhaps it preceded the present building on the same site.

This was presumably successor to the
Baptist Chapel, shown on older maps on Millyard,
off The Green at TL 4630 7550. It pre-dates a map of 1887-8, labelled as
Baptist Chapel (General), and the latest map to show it is from 1958-9. An
edition from 1974-6 has it as Hall. Since demolished, it stood in the car
park seen here in a Streetview
from 2014. The village has a Methodist Church on
High Street, at TL 4635 7542. Old maps label it as Wesleyan. Its
Genuki entry only
dates it to a restoration of 1891, but it pre-dates a map of 1887-8.

Link, and the history
here,
which dates it to the early years of the 20th century, successor to an earlier
chapel of 1858 "facing the village green". A building at the north-west corner
of the green has to be a strong candidate for this - seen
here by Streetview in 2008.
If this is the right building, it's at TL 4392 6369. O.S. maps mark
St. Etheldreda's Church
(Site of)
at TL 4344 6407.
A detailed history can be found
here,
where it says that earthworks were still visible in 1986. The site hasn't been
seen by Streetview. Also nearby is marked Abbey (Site

Wesleyan Methodist survives at TL 1816 9209. And on Main Street, a
Congregational Chapel stood at TL 1864 9211. Recent
Streetviews of these - Jireh
(old photo
here, where it's dated to 1860, demolished 1960's),
Wesleyan (note the
date-stone for 1844), and
Congregational. The Congregational is now St. B's Hall; its
website says it was
originally Independent (1804), and later Presbyterian, Unitarian,
Congregational, United Reform and Catholic!
