It pre-dates a map of 1874, and had been demolished no later than 1954. A house now stands on the site, seen here by Streetview in 2011. What may be its successor stands abandoned to the west of the village, at NN 1662 2736. Seen by Streetview in 2022, it's identified as a free church here.

Dalry, North Ayrshire.
Dalrymple, East Ayrshire, the Parish Church (CoS). Three further views - 1, 2, 3. NS 3618 1461. The site of Dalrymple Free Church, which is now unoccupied. The White Horse pub, a few yards away (seen at the right here) was originally the manse. The church was built in 1864, enalrged in the 1890's, and seems to have closed between 1936 (for when the National Archives of Scotland have minutes), and the later 1950's, as the O.S. map for 1957-8 doesn't show it. The 1946 edition shows it as a U.F. church, though it may have been closed by then. It had been preceded by a wooden church, known as the "Spale Kirk", built in 1846, which shows on the 1858 O.S. map as Free Church. It was presumably demolished at some point subsequent to the building of the Free Church of 1864. It stood at circa NS 3589 1459. The congregation didn't have a permanent home before the wooden church. NS 3618 1461. All © Howard Richter (2014).

A "History Man" article Tracing the lost chapels of Cumbria, in the Cumberland News of 20 March 2020 discusses a medieval chapel, all trace of which has been lost. It was St. Wynemius, mentioned in a document of 1343, and is supposed to have been located in a field called Chapel Flat. If you know where Chapel Flat is, I'd be pleased to hear from you. Link. A map of 1868 shows Old Methodist Chapel (Wesleyan) on a courtyard behind the buildings fronting onto the main road through the village. As so often with the earliest O.S. maps, it's unclear exactly which building the label is meant to apply to. Its entry here dates it to 1840, closed "by 1873". It also has a photo of a possible house on its site, but it isn't visible on Streetview. Its grid ref. will be circa NY 3686 5014.

The site (a block of flats) of a Wesleyan Reform Chapel, which stood on Doncaster Road, at SK 4542 9423. Maps show that it was built between 1904 and 1921, and appears to have still been active in 1935. Curiously, the 1" O.S. map of 1953 (revised no later that 1951) doesn't even show the building, though it would appear from the photo of it here, that it was still standing more recently than that. © David Regan (2022).

Old maps show what may be a church and school on the same site (though not the same building) in 1858, as it say "Free Church" and "School" on separate lines. It isn't clear whether this is a Free Church School, or a Free Church and a school. The 1896 marks the present building as "U.P. Church" in 1896, and the 1910 as "U.F. Ch.", but the maps of 1964, 1970 and 1991 mark it as "Hall". As the sign shows, it's currently being used by the local Scouts. Another view. NS 5636 3743. Both © Howard Richter (2014).

Dawn, Conwy, Capel Rehoboth, which sits to the north-east of the village at SH 8701 7311. Its Coflein entry dates it to 1837, as Wesleyan Methodist, and says that it was still a chapel in 2000. It can be seen here on a 2011 Streetview. However, available large scale O.S. maps of the early 20th century label it as Baptist. To the west of the village, at SH 8521 7277 is Croes-engan Welsh Calvinistic Chapel. The Coflein entry for it says it's a 1906 re-build on the site of an earlier chapel of 1840. The now-converted chapel, visible here on a 2011 Streetview, was at the far end of the building, originally (as old maps show) with a small porch projecting from the corner towards the road.

The village also once had a Primitive Methodist Chapel, which shows on the 1900 6" O.S. map, on Main Street at NY 0711 3607. I think the property now standing on the site is the white painted one here (2011 Streetview), behind the telegraph pole, or it may possibly be the adjacent bungalow. The My Primitive Methodist entry dates it to 1856, and the closure would seem to have been between 1960 and 1967. The Salvation Army is known to have had a presence here in 1890, based in the Temperance Hall on The Went. This source dates it to 1876, and old maps show that it had gone before 1966.

A Wesleyan Methodist Chapel once stood adjacent to the river at SN 9254 2763. The road alignment has changed since then, and the site of the chapel now lies beneath the road approaching the bridge over the river, seen here on a Streetview of 2011. This source advises of a building date of 1809, with a re-build in 1873, and demolition "by 1953".  Tabernacl Independent Chapel stood at SN 9262 2764. Its Coflein entry provides a building date of 1865, with demolition in 1992, following closure three years previously. An information plaque which can just be seen at the extreme right of this 2011 Streetview can be better seen here (scroll down), and it includes a photo of the demolished chapel. It implies that the chapel stood roughly where the parked car is in the Streetview already mentioned.

Three interior views - 1, 2, 3, a window, and the font (detail), all © Chris Stafford (2014). Link. Grade II* listed. The village had 2 chapels, just yards apart on High Street, Wesleyan and Primitive Methodist, both demolished. The earlier of the two was the Wesleyan, of 1821, which stood at TF 7697 3684. Its site was seen by Streetview in 2009. The P.M. stood at TF 7698 3684, and its site also seen in 2009. There are several on-line references to the last Methodist Chapel closing in 2009. This is erroneous, as the houses on both sites are to be seen on Streetview in 2008, and the lichens on the roof of the house on the site of the P.M. chapel testify to its having been built considerably before 2008. Docking's Wikipedia article mentions a Wesleyan Reform Preaching House west of the pond by the playing fields. I take this to be the pond centred on TF 7679 3704. No available map shows a chapel here, as far back as one published in 1886, but if it wasn't classified as a church that shouldn't be surprising. Can you say exactly where it stood?

The other, only labelled as Chapel or Chap. on different maps, shows on Hollengs Lane at TF 2346 8297. The property on the site today can be seen in a Streetview from 2009. This is probably the Wesleyan Methodist Chapel of 1805-1936 mentioned on the village Genuki page as being on Old School Lane, which is the next street to the north. It's not obvious whether anything of the chapel survives. The aforementioned Genuki page also mentions a United Free Methodist Chapel of 1868-1901 on Mill Road at TF 2347 8308. It may survive as the house furthest from the camera here in a Streetview from 2011. Genuki also mentions a Baptist Chapel on Old School Lane at TF 2347 8298. This is so close to the grid reference given for the Wesleyan Chapel that they may be the same building.

Downside, Somerset (near Bristol), the now unrecognisable Methodist Chapel. Originally Wesleyan, map evidence shows that it is at least as old as 1882-3. It was still marked as a place of worship on the 1997 O.S. map, but has since been converted for residential use. ST 49932 65931. © Carole Sage (2017).

Draycote, Warwickshire, the former General Baptist Chapel (1811), now converted to residential use. There is a date-stone for 1869, though this is perhaps the date for a re-build - see here for a photo of 1911, mentioning a centenary. The OS map for 1887 shows it as Baptist Chapel (General). This source mentions a Particular Baptist Chapel in the village; whether this is the same building is not known at present. Although the 1955 OS map shows it as Bapt. Chap., this source says it closed in the late 1930's. This Geograph photo of 2006 shows it still unconverted. Another view. SP 445 701. Both © Howard Richter (2015).

The Methodist Church on Market Street and Derwent Street was previously Primitive Methodist (1865, extended in 1897).

It does appear to have been moved, though it remains on the site - Jay Priest has found a photo of the font (labelled as basin) on this website, where there are many other photos of the Abbey.

Although clearly labelled Dufton Church and Pike, this drawing is a bit puzzling. It's clearly a different building to today's church, but the only recorded re-build was in 1784 - the 1853 restoration was internal only.
