Hockcliffe, Bedfordshire,
dedicated to St. Nicholas. SP 9660 2697. © Bill McKenzie. An old postcard view, from Judy Flynn's Collection. List. Grade II* listed. Old maps show three chapels in the village, two Methodist and a Congregational. The former Congregational Chapel stands set back from the A5 at SP 9742 2659, and was seen by Streetview in 2019. This source says it was also home to the Primitive Methodists from 1913-20. A Primitive Methodist Chapel stood on Woburn Road, at SP 9727 2683. It's dated here to 1861, closing in 1913, and demolished in 1933. It stood on what is now the grass next to the corner house seen in a Streetview from 2020. The other Methodist Chapel was Wesleyan, dated here to 1833-1919. A house now stands on the site (although the chapel stood further back from the road), and it was seen by Streetview in 2020.

Holbeach, Lincolnshire.
Holbeach Bank, Lincolnshire. The site of the demolished Primitive Methodist Chapel of 1864-1971 can be seen on a 2010 Streetview here. Its My Primitive Methodists entry says it was preceded by an earlier chapel of 1835, though whether it was on the same site isn't specified. TF 3549 2737.
Holbeach Clough, St. Martin. A photo is available here, where it says the church is or was "immediately adjacent to Saracen's Head", which is the neighbouring village to the west. In appearance perhaps of the 1960's or 1970's, I can't find it on any maps I have access to, and I've wandered along the road from Holbeach Clough to Saracen's Head on Streetview, and can't find it there either.

It pre-dated a map of 1888, and vanishes from maps between the 1956 and 1964 editions. Its site in 2011 as seen by Streetview. The other chapel, which stood at the southern end of the village, was United Free, and it also pre-dates the 1888 map. It seems to have gone out of use by the early 1930's. It site was also seen by Streetview in 2011, to the right of the road. TF 3924 2686.

Lincolnshire, the former Primitive Methodist Chapel of
1866. It had a relatively short active life, having been closed by 1891 and converted to residential use. The 2009 Streetview provides a less well-vegetated view. © David Regan (2020). Link (and the pdf therein).

Holcombe, Somerset, St. Andrew. ST 67174968. Although not itself listed, the War Memorial in the church yard is, as grade II.

Holywell (about 7 miles N.E. of Longtown), Cumbria, the former United Presbyterian Church. This source dates it to 1837, with a restoration in 1882.

A map of 1962 marks this building as Church Room, just a short distance north of the Baptist Chapel. The building existed prior to this, and the 1965 map doesn't so mark it, so either it was very short-lived, or it was a mistake by the map-makers. ST 1069 2050. Both © Huw Thomas / The History Files.

SK 4245 1233. © David Regan (2020). Link. The former Methodist Church was built as Wesleyan. The village Wikipedia entry provides dates for the two adjacent chapels, of 1831 for the smaller chapel at left, and 1891 for its larger neighbour. Both can be seen in Streetviews as they were when the church was still active - in 2016 here, and after closure and in use as offices, here, in 2019. The 25" O.S. map of 1929 shows a Baptist Church on Dennis Street at SK 4261 1262. Still standing (though scaffolded) in 2009, as seen here in a Streetview, it had been demolished and replaced by housing by the time of the next Streetview van visit in 2011. The 1929 25" map shows a Mission Room on Fairfield Road. Because of some uncertainty about which building is being indicated, it's not possible to give an exact grid reference - so circa SK 425 131, and today the site is perhaps under the road or the adjacent pavements as seen here on a 2017 Streetview. One last site is worth mentioning. The 25" map indicates St. James's Church (site of) off Dennis Street at SK 4272 1260. Assuming the map is accurate, the church stood among the trees to the left of the path in this 2011 Streetview. Its Genuki entry dates it to 1776,  the village Wikipedia entry says that it was preceded by a Chapel of Ease on Dennis Street, so perhaps on the same site.
