Older maps label it as Primitive Methodist, and Genuki, quoting from an old directory, dates it to 1852. TL 4900 4354. © David Regan (2019). 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, perhaps reflecting the style of the chapel, subsequently built (2021 Streetview). The same source quoted earlier dates it to 1842. An old photo is available here. TL 4946 4364. O.S. maps indicate Abbey Farm Remains of Priory at circa TL 4894 4367, but see the Wikipedia article where doubts about its exact location are expressed.
Icklingham, Suffolk, St. James (C), on The Street. Thanks go to Rik Powell for identifying Jim Huling's photo which was previously in the "Unknown" section.

Genuki lists two other places of worship - a Baptist Church, and the Chapel of St. Thomas. The latter is mentioned here as having been at an uncertain location at West Farm, which is at SU 1951 3779 - here's a general view of the farm, from Streetview in 2021. I can't find any evidence of a Baptist Church, but perhaps the Baptist at nearby Porton is meant (for which see the Wiltshire page).

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 Streetview van in 2009. The cemetery on Limington Road has a Mortuary Chapel, at ST 5291 2245. Streetview saw it saw it in 2009.

Illogan, Cornwall.
Illogan Downs, Cornwall, the former Methodist Chapel (originally Wesleyan) of 1861. SW 6644 4311. © Paul E. Barnett (2015). This source says it was closed in 1975, and speculates that there may have been an earlier chapel, later used as the Sunday School, which stands or stood set back from the other side of the road at SW 6639 4205. If it survives, it's the long building seen here in a Streetview from 2020. The same source also mentions references to a Free Methodist Chapel hereabouts, but it remains un-located.
Illogan Highway, Cornwall, the Methodist Church on Agar Road, built as Wesleyan before 1880, when it shows on the OS map of that vintage. When still available, the church website said that three church buildings (1843, 1888 and 1903) made up the present church; it isn't clear which of these are visible in the photo. However, the building at left bears date 1839. Another view. SW 6794 4160. Both © Paul E. Barnett (2014 and 2023). It had evidently closed by 2023, as a Streetview from then shows a "for sale" sign.

Imber, Wiltshire, St. Giles. Imber is famous as the village evacuated during WWII to allow for its use in military exercises. Despite several attempts, the residents were never allowed to return. The church is the only building which is still maintained - it's under the care of the Churches Conservation Trust. Several services are still held each year. Another view (note the five pinnacles on the tower!). Interior view on a very busy open day. The church retains some medieval wall-paintings, and, very unusually, a C17 change-ringers chart. The roof timbers are very plain. The altar, and an unusual and handsome monument. ST 965 483. All © Janet Gimber (2012). Link. Grade I listed.

The only reference to it I have been able to find is here, where it says "Early chapel of ease at Ireleth, rebuilt as St. Peter's, Ireleth, on a new site in 1865". The building the map seems to be showing stood on a site on Sun Street, seen by Streetview in 2022.

Another view, side-chapel, two good brasses - 1, 2, and the font; the church has a copy of the Luttrell Psalter (more on this here and here) all © David Regan (2019). Link. 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.

Mike Berrell has advised that Arthur Mee's "The King's England" says that it was built by Robert Poyntz in 1390 to commemorate 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. Link. Grade I listed - link.

Methodist Church (1897) on College Street was successor to a Wesleyan Chapel on High Street. The old chapel was used as a Sunday School after the new chapel was opened. Gerard advises that it was subsequently sold to the Roman Catholics, but whether it was used by them as a church is so far not known. It's now in commercial use. SP 9453 7058 (old), SP 9448 7063 (current). Both © Gerard Charmley (2021). Link. 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 photo of it, and it hasn't been seen by Streetview. O.S. maps show All Saints' Church (Site of) at SP 9507 7070. Some history of it can be found here. Its site stands somewhere behind the nearer trees seen here in a Streetview from 2009.
