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

Link. 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.

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

The village also once had a Primitive Methodist Chapel,

the property now standing on the site is the white painted one

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

presence here in 1890, based in the Temperance Hall on The Went. This

then, and the site of the chapel now lies beneath the road approaching the

re-build in 1873, and demolition "by 1953".
Tabernacl Independent Chapel stood at SN 9262 2764. Its

this 2011 Streetview can be
better seen

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?

Older maps show two chapels in the village. A Primitive
Methodist Chapel shows at the junction of Main Road and Chapel Lane.
Streetview saw it in 2011,
and it's dated
here to 1854-1988. TF 2361 8290. 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.

else? 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

longer on the base in John's photo (though it seems unlikely that that

Thomas Bland in the 1850's is available
here, reproduced by kind permission of
Carlisle Library. It's from the searchable Cumbria Image Bank, which can
be accessed here.
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. Was this
perhaps an imaginative re-creation of how the church might have looked before
the 1784 re-build? And if it is, did he have any sources on which to base his
drawing?

As Church of Scotland it had at least three predecessors. Its immediate
predecessor was this building at NC 4023
6781, now in residential use. It was apparently built circa 1814 when the
medieval church was abandoned. The date when it went out of use as a church is
unclear, but map evidence implies it was between 1905 and 1962. © Martin Richter
(2013). The ruins of the late medieval
church (Balnakeil) stand at NC 39109 68649. This

provides a date of 1692, and also mentions a yet earlier church or churches
going back to at least the 13th century, and possibly much earlier if the

St. Maelrubha is correct. Two additional views -

It stands just a few yards from the site of a chapel marked on a map of
1913 as Independent Chapel, at SJ 0597
7910. It, or its site, is the central part (which looks older) of the
short row of terraced housing seen in a
Streetview from
2023.
Coflein dates it to 1842, re-built 1892.
Coflein also lists Old Wesleyan Methodist
Chapel on Waterfall Road, dating it to 1822, re-built in 1830 and
1869. Presumably the predecessor of Seion, it survives, and was seen by
Streetview in
2023. Better photos can be seen on the Coflein entry
photo page. SJ

grade II listing calls it
Coronation Hall.
