Estate Agents notice. There was at one time a
Congregational Chapel on Frogge Street. The
site had been
cleared when the Streetview camera passed by in 2008, and a house,

Streetview). The same source quoted earlier dates it to 1842. An old

Ilchester, Somerset, St. Mary Major on
Church Street. ST 5226 2261. © Chris Kippin (2021).
Grade II* listed. St. Mary Minor once stood on
the east side of the road just south of the bridge over the Yeo. VCH gives some
history, and dates it to no later than 1227-8, and "still standing in
Leland's time" - the early 16th century, but "had evidently disappeared a
century later". It site can be seen on a
Streetview of 2016. ST 5222
2278. The same source also mentions St. Michael, St.
Peter, St. Olave, St. John the Baptist, Holy
Trinity, and a bridge chapel dedicated to St.
Leonard, probably demolished in 1797.
Here's a view of the present
bridge from the north, from Streetview in 2016. The precise location of St. John
(pre-1207 to post-1486) is lost, but the VCH suggests it may have been close to
the old gaol. That too is long gone, and it's supposed site (somewhere near the
distant white van) can be seen in a
Streetview of 2009. All
knowledge of the location of St. Olave and St. Peter is lost, but St. Michael
was above the south gate of the town walls, the site of which (roughly where the
diversion sign is) can be seen
here on a Streetview of 2016. Holy Trinity was the chapel of the Whitehall
hospital. Older O.S. maps show the site of Whitehall Nunnery at ST 5218 2279. If
accurate, it stood somewhere to the right of the access roadway seen in this
2016 Streetview, near the
dark tree. The former Wesleyan Methodist
Chapel on Church Street is now in commercial use. Its
grade II listing dates it to 1850. ST 5222 2265. © Chris Kippin (2021). Old
maps show an Independent/Congregational Chapel
(1799) off Almshouse Lane, at ST 5216 2260. What I assume to be the
building was seen by the

Mortuary Chapel, at ST 5291 2245.

Grade I listed. The Luttrell family had a private Catholic Chapel here. When
the family property was sold in the mid-19th century, the new owners were not
Catholics, and didn't want a Catholic Chapel on their estate, so it was pulled
down and re-erected in Corby Glen, where it was eventually converted for
residential use (see the Corby Glen entry above). The National Archives
entry
for Irnham lists documents for a Wesleyan Methodist Chapel
for 1917-1934. No maps I have access to show this chapel, and I can't find any
other information about it.

his grandmother. He also re-built the church at the same time, and he lies in
the church in a tomb, with his wife. The top is carved as a knight in armour.

A map of 1885-6 shows a
Primitive Methodist Chapel on Bakehouse Lane, now Baker Street. It's
difficult to be certain exactly which property is being indicated, but I think
it's one at SP 9443 7035 which had been demolished by the time of the 1901 6"
map. If this is correct, then it stood where the side road starts in this
Streetview from 2009. A
Mortuary Chapel stands (or stood) in the cemetery
immediately south of St. Peter, at SP 9483 7061. I haven't been able to find a
