Needham Street, of 1857. When the Wright Street Chapel was opened, the old
Needham Street building was used as a Sunday School, and is so marked on old
maps, at SK 4166 4947. It was demolished in the 1960's after being in secular
use for many years. I think it stood roughly where the brick building is seen,

"Coleridge" printed on it, and it seems that this was the old spelling for what
is now Coldridge. Greg Mishevski and Simon Edwards obliged with the
identification, and confirmation that they were indeed of the same church. There
are some older references to the church dedication being St. Mary (Simon refers

Colliers Wood, Greater London, Christ Church (1874), on Christchurch Road. This old postcard, from Steve Bulman's Collection, was of
long-standing in the "Unknown" section. A church with an unusual spire - and the sender has written this - "I
daresay you recognize the old church, although they have omitted to print the
name....". Although originally identified as St. Augustine in Dudley, it certainly
wasn't
that, since a photo has now been sent in, and it can be seen on the
Dudley page.

At Chapel End, less than half a mile to the S.W. of the church, is a former
Primitive Methodist Chapel. It hasn't been seen by
Streetview, but its My Primitive Methodists

The closure date may be suspect, as the 1" O.S. map of 1937-61 still shows it as
a place of worship. TL 1030 5823.

Grade I listed. The Methodist Church stands on
Back Lane at SK 9316 2403. The 1903-5 6" O.S. map labels it as "W Meth. Chap.",
so presumably it was Wesleyan. It can be seen on a 2009 Streetview
here. Viewed
here, what is presumably the
original chapel can be seen, built from stone rather than brick. The same
map shows another Chapel at SK 9303 2394, which the 25" version labels as "Meth.
Chap. (United Free)". The
Genuki entry supplies dates of 1855-1948. A poor and distant view can be
found on a 2016 Streetview here.
For what seems to be quite an impressive building, it's odd that I haven't been
able to find any photos on-line. Another thing marked on these maps is the site
of a Priory. The
village website
says it was dedicated to St. Barbara. Standing beside the River Witham, the site
is in the distance in this 2011

(dated

to 1810) hasn't survived, but the Wesleyan has, converted to residential use. It
has a date-stone for 1896. There was evidently an earlier
Primitive Methodist Chapel on the same site, shown on a map of 1884. The
former Wesleyan (at left) and the house built on the site of the Catholic Chapel
were seen by Streetview in

earlier small P.M. chapel, built in 1832. Mentioned
here, it may be the same building which shows in later 19th century
maps as U.F.C. This later became a Church of England Mission Room, bought in
1915, and as shown on a 1964 O.S. map, but it has since been demolished and a
house built on the site. The National Archives hold records for 1940-1969. A
Streetview of the house shows an older boundary wall, and this is consistent
with the boundary shown for the Mission Room on O.S. maps, and so is a likely
remnant.

but the congregation is considerably older than this. It can be seen
here. Link. Shown on the same

and was still in use in 1901. A building with the same footprint as the chapel
on the map can be seen

same building, or a more recent building on the same site.

Mission Hall stood on the site, and by 1915 it had been replaced by a "Meth. Church (Wes.)". This
article, from 2004, mentions the churches
recent centenary, so it must have been built in 1904. Another view. TQ 055 392.© Martin Richter (2012).

chapel of 1827 on Halwyn Hill. This is marked as a Wesleyan Chapel on the 25"
O.S. map of 1907, and can be seen on a
Streetview from 2019. It's
curious that there should have been two Wesleyan Chapel so close (200 meters) to
each other, but perhaps it's an error on the part of the Ordnance Survey, as the
source says it was used as a Sunday School after the newer chapel opened (i.e.
1872). SW 7913 6037.

here to 1852, and was still marked as a place of worship (but not labelled)
on a map of 1952. At some point closed and demolished, its site was seen by

had a predecessor, as Wesleyan documents are
referenced in the National Archives for the years 1848-1971. A map of 1891
indicates a Meth. Chap. (Wes.) on Key Lane. It
doesn't show which building the label is intended for, but a good candidate
survives, seen by Streetview

Grade II listed. Old maps show two chapels in the village, both to the
south. Closer to the village was the Wesleyan Methodist
at TF 5068 7337. This seems to have been demolished, though I haven't been able
to see the exact site as the Streetview van hasn't passed it. Other old maps
suggest it went out of use in the late 1950's or the 1960's. The
Primitive Methodist stands at TF 5047 7323. Seen
here by Streetview in 2009, it is evidently now used as an extension to a house.
Zooming in on the date-stone above the door confirms the identification. Its My
Primitive Methodists
entry dates it to 1839. It also mentions a second
chapel just two doors away though there is possibly some confusion about
its denomination - United or Primitive. In any event, it can be seen on
Streetview.

Streetview to see it in
2009, and enough of the date-stone can be seen to read that it was called Noddfa,
and possibly from 1911. The next
Streetview visit was in 2021, by which time it had been demolished. Its
Coflein
entry (written in 2011) says that
it "appears to be the Sunday School built at the
rear of a now-demolished chapel". This would imply that the chapel stood on the
grassy area seen in 2009.

Bethel Calvinistic Methodist Chapel (1896).
A map of 1888 calls it Sion, and
Coflein,
which dates it to 1807, re-built 1833 and 1897, says it was originally called
Capel Mawr. Another view.

Carmel Independent Chapel (1889).
Coflein
says that 1889 refers to a refurbishment, the chapel originally being of 1842. © Peter Morgan (2013).
The date-stone visible in the photo has since been painted over or removed (2021
Streetview). A map of 1888 shows a Baptist Chapel
and an Independent Chapel close to each at the
eastern end of the village, the former at SJ 0285 4105, the latter at SJ 0586
4103. Neither is marked as a place of worship on a map of 1901, and I suspect
that their placement too far east is a rare mistake on the part of the Ordnance
Survey, marking Bethania and Carmel on the wrong road.
