Primitive Methodist Chapel on Aylesbury Street at

there was an Indian Restaurant on the site. Another vanished chapel was the

A plaque gives a little history,

built between 1820 and 1846 (evidence from the plaque), and maps tell us that it
was United Presbyterian "U. P. Church" in 1896, United Free "U.F. Church" in
1897, and that it had been demolished and replaced by a police station by 1958.
Maps also show that the church was closer to the road than the present-day
bungalow. All © Howard Richter (2014).

Fosdyke, Lincolnshire,
All Saints. This marvellous old postcard (from Reg Dosell's Collection) had to
be heavily processed, and was previously in the "Unknown" section. Showing Fosdyke Old Church, it bears some resemblance to
Fosdyke Fen Church, as shown here, but quite apart from the vanished tower, other details don't
match - so where is it? Janet Gimber has made a good argument for it being All
Saints, Fosdyke, but a previous incarnation. She quotes
Genuki which states that the church was re-built in 1871,
and an old source which describes the pre-1871 building - built in 1756 (no
photo unfortunately) - which seems to match the old postcard. Can any
Lincolnshire expert confirm this scenario?? Thanks to Garry Barr for confirming
that it is indeed All Saints as Janet suspected, and for supplying this
link, which has the same photo. Garry advises that the gent in the top hat
was the vicar, the Rev. Basil Beridge, who largely paid for the re-building of
the church following a fire in 1871. The postcard shows the pre-1871 church. The present church. TF 315 333.

Grade II listed. The 6" O.S. map of 1888-1913 shows three Chapels - these
were Wesleyan, United Free
and Primitive Methodist, as mentioned on Genuki.
The Wesleyan was on Louth Road at TF 3159 9170 , and is dated by Genuki as
"founded in 1840". A house has been built on the site, and was seen by
Streetview in 2010. The
Primitive Methodist was on Church Lane, and is dated
here to 1868-1925. The house on the site can be seen in a 2009
Streetview. TF 3173 9167.
The United Free Methodist was on Allenby Crescent, and Genuki implies that it
survives. But if it does, it's been so heavily altered as to be unrecognizable
as a former chapel - seen by
Streetview in 2009. TF 3165 9175.
Fotheringhay, Northamptonshire,
St. Mary and All Saints. Intended as a mausoleum for the members of the House of
York, less than half of the church survives. © Zoe Martin. A view from an old postcard in Steve Bulman's Collection.
Previously in the "Unknown" section, this
original drawing once belonged to an
ancestor of Ken Edwards, and was thought to show a church maybe in
the Maghull area (Lancashire), and was probably drawn before 1860. Many thanks
indeed to Aidan Thomson, who says the church drawing itself, and the situation on
the ground with the river, bears a great similarity to Fotheringhay in Northamptonshire.
This
makes the mound to the right in the drawing the site of Fotheringhay Castle.
Further work by Janet Gimber means that this identification is now a certainty.
The drawing is now thought to be about 180 years old. This old engraving (1827), is from Ken Edwards'
Collection. Two modern views - 1,

Originally built as the Sunday School, sometime between 1901 and 1917, the
congregation transferred here when the neighbouring chapel was demolished. The original chapel stood at the right of the school (as seen
in the photo in this entry), and was still standing when the 1980-93 OS map was compiled. Originally built in 1815, re-built and enlarged in 1862, it
was demolished in the 1990's, according to

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 continued 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.

Coflein
includes the demolished Carmel Baptist Chapel
(1877-1988) on Woodlands Road, at SJ 2698 4117. Its site was seen by
Streetview in 2023, and
an old photo can be seen
here (no. 10). It had a predecessor, which
Coflein dates to
1844, and says survives as the residential properties 1 and 2 Carmel Terrace.
Coflein supplies this grid reference - SJ 2681 4118 - which points to Cwmalis

Carmel Cottage. Coflein also lists Seion Independent
Chapel of 1851, later known as Capel y Fron. SJ 2717 4118. It was still
shown as active on a map of 1951. It stands on Methodist Hill, and was seen by
Streetview in 2023. A
former Wesleyan Methodist Chapel also stands on
Methodist Hill. According to
Coflein
it was built in 1860, re-built in 1871, and was later Calvinistic Methodist.
