A Primitive Methodist Chapel is indicated

entry dates it to 1853. It probably survives, and can be seen on a
Streetview of 2011. The M.P.M.
entry also says that it was preceded by an earlier chapel of 1829,
"near the western entrance to the village", and
had a successor of 1909,
"out of use by 1976", subsequently converted to residential use. The latter
stands at SP 1996 0511, and can be seen on a
2011 Streetview. I haven't

the 1830's. After it closed, it still stood for several decades, and it shows as
a "Hall" on the 1970 O.S. map, but the are was subsequently re-developed with

Friends' Meeting House on Catherine
Hill is now in residential use. A Meeting was established in Olveston circa
1655, but it moved to this pre-existing building in 1696, and it seems to have
continued in use until after WWI. Olveston's Quakers now meet at The Chantry in
Thornbury (for which, see the Thornbury page).

Reform Methodist Chapel on Haw
Lane. It can't pre-date the founding of the Reform Methodist movement in 1849,
and does pre-date a map of 1881-3. It seems to have gone out of use by
the time of a 1904 map, and by 1954 was in use as a doctor's surgery. The
building is undergoing works at present, but Carole's not aware of what the
buildings future use will be. ST 60217 86902.

chapel-of-ease for the adjacent Owlpen Manor. It was replaced in the late
1820's, and has had alterations and additions since then, most notably with a
Byzantine-style mosaic added in the 1880's. All that remains from the original
chapel is the font. ST 79984 98402. All © Carole Sage

Another view, © Carole Sage
(2018), who explains that there are references to this having been built in
1903. This may be correct, but a Wesleyan Chapel was certainly present with the
same footprint on the same site as early as a map of 1881. It closed as a church
in 1973, when the congregation merged with St. Peter's Anglican Church, forming
an ecumenical partnership. The old church was then used as a church hall, called
Trinity Hall. The church and associated buildings were put up for sale in 2011,
and the
estate agent's notice includes interior photos. The church was subsequently
converted for residential use. A Mission Hall was built in 1881 on
Redwick Road, Pilling. 1960's maps still show it as a Mission Hall, but by 1972
it had become the village hall. Now used by the local Scouts, it has been
re-named Mafeking Hall. Another

Several monuments in the churchyard are listed separately
here. Older maps mark an Independent Chapel on
Victoria Road at SP 1483 0405. It pre-dates a map of 1882 and had closed no
later than 1959. The building on the site today can be seen in a
Streetview from 2011. The
same map also shows a Plymouth Brethren Chapel, but
it doesn't indicate exactly which building is intended, and it had evidently
closed by 1902 when the next available map was published. It stood (stands?)
somewhere within the row of buildings seen by
Streetview in 2011. This
source mentions a Baptist Chapel of
1838-1880's, but doesn't locate it, and the 1882 map doesn't show it.

Severn Beach, the site of the
demolished St. Nicholas on Church Road. It was a "tin tabernacle" and seems to
date from around the 1940's. Still open as recently as 1992, the discovery of
asbestos forced its closure and subsequent demolition. Housing was built on the
site, and the church would have stood rather closer to the roadway than the left
hand house in Carole's photo. A photo of the church was available
here,
but the website wasn't working when I tested it. ST 54447 84814. The
site of the demolished Catholic
Church of Our Lady on Riverside Park. The building date is not presently known
exactly, but was probably in the 1930's or 1940's, and it was still open into
the 1970's. Subsequently demolished, a house was built on the site, though the
church stood a little further away from the road. ST 53922 84738.

85185. It is successor to the 1960's Emmaus Chapel on Green Lane which was

here, at ST 54210 85185.
The church was originally founded in the 1930's, meeting at first in old Nissen
huts on Shaft Road, and also in a marquee at Salthouse Farm.
Link; the
history page
includes a photo of the Nissen huts. Severn Beach Methodist Church used to stand
on Beach Avenue. The congregation from St. Nicholas shared the building after
their church was closed in the 1990's, and the church was subsequently re-named
as Severn Beach Christian Family Church, and a few years later as Severn Beach
United Church. Built sometime after WWII, structural problems forced its closure
in (or soon after) 2011. The site
is being re-developed for housing, and the church was located towards the rear
of the plot, to the left of the conifer tree. A photo of the church was
available
here, but the website wasn't working when I tested it. ST 53973 85113. The
site of Rosary Priory on
Shaft Road belonged to The Order of St. Gilbert of Sempringham of The
Modified Rite, who are Liberal Catholics. Information relating to this
building is hard to come by, but its demolition may be related to its proximity
to the nearby M4. It shows on maps up to the 1970's. ST 54069

Grade II listed - note that this states that it was a Methodist Chapel -
this seems to be erroneous. Carole advises that there are on-line references to
a Wesleyan Chapel in Uley, but our searches of various old maps have failed to
find it, and others have evidently been along this road before - see
here. Howard Richter
has been investigating this, and has located a building marked as "Chapel" just
a few yards east of the Baptist Chapel on the 25" O.S. map of 1882-3, see
here. The grid reference is
circa ST 7908 9835. Also marked as Chapel on the 6" map of 1889-90, it is
not marked on the 1902 25" map, so presumably had gone out of use by them. A
plot of waste land with old railings can be seen on Streetview
here. Although not definitive proof that this was the Wesleyan Chapel, this
has to be a very good candidate.

Grade I listed. There are numerous listed monuments in the churchyard - they
can be seen
here. Grace Church on Westerleigh
Road, north of the village, at ST 6993 8045. Older maps (from 1886, the earliest
available) label it as Independent Chapel. Another view. Since Jim took his photo, Grace Church has moved to Yate;
the Westerleigh building is now Immanuel Christian School. Both © Jim Parker. There
are two crematorium chapels; the
Waterside Chapel is under
the glass roof. Another view. Both © Janet Gimber (2014).
More recently Woodside Chapel
has been added. A general grid reference for the complex of buildings here would
be ST 7029 7849. © Janet Gimber (2023).
