Aby, the
site of All Saints. According to
Wikipedia, it was
demolished in 1660 following the merger with Belleau parish. The stones
were re-used in a Manor House. A wooden church was built on the site in
1888, now also long gone (some photos of it are available
here). Another view. TF 4088

Drive, but curiously the 1" O.S. map of the mid 20th century doesn't mark it

suggests it is), the building on the site today, (which is handily called St.
Matthew's House) can be seen on a

"next to" the previous chapel, which became the Sunday School. The 1905-6 O.S. map

original chapel can be seen, built from stone rather than brick. The same
map shows another Chapel at SK 9303 2394, which the 25" version labels as "Meth.
Chap. (United Free)". The

Cumberworth,
the former St. Helen, which is now in residential use.
Although the Streetview van has been past St. Helen's, the dense foliage
prevents anything more that the tiniest glimpse of the building. The Wikipedia
entry for the village has a photo of the church (which it says was made
redundant in 1987), and there's another on Geograph,
here. TF 5062 7374.

Grade II listed. Old maps show two chapels in the village, both to the
south. Closer to the village was the Wesleyan Methodist
at TF 5068 7337. This seems to have been demolished, though I haven't been able
to see the exact site as the Streetview van hasn't passed it. Other old maps
suggest it went out of use in the late 1950's or the 1960's. The
Primitive Methodist stands at TF 5047 7323. Seen
here by Streetview in 2009, it is evidently now used as an extension to a house.
Zooming in on the date-stone above the door confirms the identification. Its My
Primitive Methodists
entry dates it to 1839. It also mentions a second
chapel just two doors away though there is possibly some confusion about
its denomination - United or Primitive. In any event, it can be seen on
Streetview.

Older maps show two chapels in the village. A Primitive

Streetview saw it in 2011,

here to 1854-1988. TF 2361 8290. The other, only labelled as Chapel
or Chap. on different maps, shows on Hollengs Lane at TF 2346 8297. The
property on the site today can be seen in a
Streetview from 2009. This
is probably the Wesleyan Methodist Chapel of
1805-1936 mentioned on the village
Genuki page
as being on Old School Lane, which is the next street to the north. It's not
obvious whether anything of the chapel survives. The aforementioned Genuki page
also mentions a United Free Methodist Chapel of
1868-1901 on Mill Road at TF 2347 8308. It may survive as the house furthest
from the camera here in a
Streetview from 2011. Genuki also mentions a Baptist
Chapel on Old School Lane at TF 2347 8298. This is so close to the grid
reference given for the Wesleyan Chapel that they may be the same building.

Fosdyke, 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

"founded in 1840". A house has been built on the site, and was seen by

was built as Free United Methodist in 1854, later becoming Goulceby
Methodist Church, presumably after unification with the other local Methodist
churches. TF 2546 7940. © Les Needham. The village also had a
Wesleyan Methodist Chapel, on Butt Lane at TF 2552

here to 1819, and stood to the right of the house seen on a
Streetview from 2009. A
Primitive Methodist Chapel is noted
here, where it's dated to 1834-1886, but the website has been unable to
locate it. Maps have failed me too, but going round the village on Streetview I
came across an intriguing building about half way along Butt Lane on the western
side, almost hidden by vegetation - could this be the P.M. Chapel, seen on
Streetview in 2009?

had a restoration in the 14th. So far so good. The clerestory was destroyed,
also in the 14th century - perhaps as part of the restoration, though the
listing doesn't specify. Another restoration took place in 1859 (heavily
restored, it says). The most recent insult was the collapse of the tower, as

to hope that there may be photos out there. Genuki also lists two other
Methodist Chapels - a Primitive Methodist and a
United Free Methodist. The location of the
Primitive Methodist is not known (at least on the Genuki or My Primitive
Methodists websites), but it's dates are 1857 - circa 1875. It was preceded by a
meeting in another (also unidentified) building from 1829. The United Free
Methodist is also un-located by Genuki, and it had dates of 1857 - 1934. This
pdf document identifies a workshop (building #10) on Blacksmith Lane (SK
9714 6247) as a former Methodist Chapel. It suggests a date of the late 19th
century, which would imply that it is most likely the former United Methodist
building. It can be seen on a 2012 Streetview
here.

residential use (see the Corby Glen entry above). The National Archives

Osgodby, the former Primitive
Methodist Chapel on Main Street. Named and dated
here as Eastgate P.M. Chapel, of 1842-1962. TF 0767 9262. The former
Wesleyan Chapel, on Main Street (TF
0709 9271) is dated
here to 1897-1970's or later. It also says that it was successor to an
earlier chapel of 1840. An examination of old maps show that this was on a
different site. The map of 1887 doesn't indicate which building the label is
intended for, so all that can be said is that it stood somewhere north of the
Crown Inn. Blessed Lady and St Joseph
(R.C., 1793) is on the first floor. TF 0759 9260.

Maps of a late Victorian vintage show a Wesleyan Methodist
Chapel in the village, though it isn't quite clear which building the
label is indicating. It's suggestive that the P.M. Chapel, which existed by the
time of these maps, isn't indicated, suggesting that the

Wesleyan is on Grange Lane, at TF 3083 9351. It's dated to 1846 on
Genuki, and was seen by
Streetview in 2010. The Primitive Methodist Chapel is on Main Road, and
pre-dates a map of 1888-9. It's dated
here to 1858, where it also says it was closed circa 1887. It's still
labelled as a P.M. Chapel on a map of 1891 however. By the time of the next
available map, of 1906-7, it's labelled as Public Hall. It can be seen in

United Free Methodist Chapel is shown on old maps
on Bar Lane at SK 9770 6423. Now demolished,
Genuki dates it to "before 1862" to "after 1933". It stood on what is now a
parking area, seen here in a
Streetview from 2017. Genuki also mentions a Friends'
Meeting House on Maltkin Lane (Malt Kiln Lane on Streetview), with dates
of 1695-1826, and that it had a graveyard. The grid reference on Genuki is SK
97556 64001, and this ties in with an area labelled "B.G.", or burial ground, on
the south side of the lane. It can be seen on a
Streetview from 2012. I
don't know if anything survives of the meeting house. Genuki also identifies
another Wesleyan Methodist Chapel (1917-1850) on
Maltkiln Lane, but I haven't been able to locate its site accurately.

Link. At least one of the
Chapel Lane chapels survives, and was in use as
Winterton Youth Centre
when the Streetview camera went past in 2009. It stands on the north
side of the lane at circa SE 9296 1850. I suspect that the other chapel
hasn't survived. The Primitive Methodists
are known (source,
with photo) to have had three chapels in the village, of 1820, 1838, and
1880 - these latter two on the same site on Queen Street. Demolished,
housing stands on the site
today. ©

Genuki mentions a Primitive Methodist Chapel
on Elsham Road, at TA
01454 13736. Early O.S. maps indicate a
chapel at this grid reference (though it's on Low Road today, not Elsham
Road), but curiously the 1" map of 1937-61 shows it a short distance
further along the road, at TA 0147 1371. A pair of bungalows occupy the
site today, seen here
by Streetview in 2009.

The village also had a Primitive Methodist Chapel,
on Little Lane, at TA 0193 0884. Whether the
building on the site today is
the converted chapel, or a later building, is unclear. It seems to have
