stone and rendered portions.
Grade II listing, which says it is the oldest
Baptist Chapel in North Devon. The

Coldridge, St. Matthew. Curiously, I had received scans of two different postcards of an

within days of each other. I suspected immediately that they were of the same
church, but had no idea of where it might be. One postcard had the word
"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, and
provided the following links -

front door. At some point before 1973 it had become a Methodist Chapel, and it still shows as such on a 1974-6 map. Closure date not certain. The chapel is in

Torrington Union Workhouse, which stood at circa SS 4863 1919.

Chapel on South Street. Its dates are uncertain, but it was built before the
1887 O.S. map was compiled, and the congregation seems to have left before 1904,

Weare Giffard, Holy Trinity. Previously (and for a long time) in the "Unknown" section. Roger Hopkins found a box of
Victorian negatives, and the only clue to the whereabouts of the photos was one
negative labelled "Moortown Church". Despite
his searches through the numerous Moortown's in Britain and Ireland, he'd been
unable to identify the church, and despite much effort by other keen church detectives, its identity remained undiscovered for a long time. My appreciation to
Greg Mishevski, who finally solved the mystery. SS 467 221. Link.
