Coflein dates it to 1872 when it was re-built, replacing a chapel originally of 1809. SH 7638 6929. © Martin Briscoe. A Calvinistic Methodist Chapel is shown on O.S. maps at SH 7551 6986. There's an entry on Coflein for it, but it has no details. The chapel pre-dates a map of 1889, and was still active in the mid-20th century. It seems to now be in residential use - the building on the site was seen by Streetview in 2009. Whether anything of the chapel survives is unclear.
Llanbedrog, Gwynedd, St. Pedrog. An interior view, and a rather lovely window. SH 3295 3155. All © Tim Hollinghurst (2019). Coflein entry. Grade II* listed. Howard Richter advises of three chapels nearby - the first is the Calvinistic Methodist Capel Peniel at SH 3217 3190. It can be seen on a 2016 Streetview here. The Coflein entry tells us that it was perhaps originally built in 1791, and re-built in 1866. Grade II listed. The second is the Wesleyan Methodist Rehoboth at SH 3221 3189. The Coflein entry gives dates of 1816, with re-builds or modifications in 1833, 1839 and 1871. Not visited by Streetview, other sources confirm that the building is still extant. Seion Independent Chapel stands at SH 3237 3195, and was seen by Streetview in 2009 and 2016, between which dates the building had been re-painted. The Coflein entry gives a building date of 1883.

Methodist Church (1951) on Minffordd Road. Coflein lists it as Salem Wesleyan. SH 9067 7809. © Mike Berrell. Link. O.S. maps show a Baptist Chapel off Minffordd Road at SH 9056 7813. A building with the same footprint can be seen on modern aerial views, but it can't be seen on Streetviews. Whatever it is it stands behind the left half of the short terrace seen by Streetview in 2011. Old maps also show an otherwise un-named Chap. on Abergele Road at SH 8997 7831. A Streetview from 2022 shows that it bears a sign saying Caersalem Chapel. A 2020 news story includes interior views of the converted . chapel, and Coflein dates it to 1890, on the site of earlier chapels.
Llanddwyn Island, Isle of Anglesey, the ruins of St. Dwynwen. Its Coflein entry dates it to the 16th century.

It has a very brief Coflein entry which dates it to 1875. © Peter Morgan (2012). Howard has also advised of some additional chapels - Capel Seion (Wesleyan) is located at SJ 0353 3709, and is a 1884 re-build of a chapel originally built in 1804. It has been converted to residential use. A 2016 Streetview can be seen here. An 1888 map shows a disused "Methodist Chapel (Calvinistic)" at SJ 0336 3695. This is possibly Capel Salem noted by Coflein here ("possibly" because the grid reference and map on Coflein point to an empty field west of the village). If this identification is correct, then it was built in 1822, and re-built in 1880. Streetview shows a building at this site here, and here, the latter showing a pair of old gate piers. This is all rather tentative, so if you can confirm any of this, please let me know.

There is a former Wesleyan Methodist Chapel on Gladstone Terrace and Nant Glyd, seen by Streetview in 2021. Coflein dates it to a re-build in 1874, previous versions dating from 1810 and 1836. It was still in active use (presumably as Methodist) in 1961. There's also a former Baptist Chapel a little way S.W. of the village, at SJ 1042 6477. Unfortunately it's blurred out on Streetview, and I haven't found a photo of it. Coflein, which calls it Felin Isa Baptist Chapel, dates it to 1836, re-built in 1868, and says that "by 1980 the chapel had fallen into disuse".

It has been seen but poorly by Streetview in 2009, the view somewhat obstructed by vegetation, and I haven't been able to find an on-line photo. Coflein dates it to a 1906 re-build of a chapel of 1846. The Calvinistic Methodist Chapel is at SJ 1051 5038. Coflein calls it Brynbanadl Welsh Calvinistic Methodist Chapel, and dates it to 1804, re-built 1876. A 6" O.S. map of 1885 shows the chapel as the building in this Streetview from 2021 - its appearance matches the Coflein description of it being of the "long-wall entry" type. However, the 6" map of 1900 shows the chapel butting up against the road. If this was real then it has been demolished.

The former Wesleyan Methodist Chapel (1837-1961, later Methodist Free Church) on High Street was a splinter from Ebenezer. Mentioned on the Valley of a Hundred Chapels website, it isn't marked on any maps, perhaps, as David speculates, because it was on an upper floor, the ground floor being housing. It is though, labelled as "The Old Chapel" on Google Maps, and the road running east from it is Chapel Street. SE 0419 2603. © David Regan (2021). It was succeeded by St. James Methodist Church which dates from 1902-3 as United Methodist, and was closed in 2012. It can be seen here on a 2009 Streetview, and here, where there is also an old photo. SE 0407 2602.

Howard Richter advises that it was closed circa 2000, at which time the church (now U.R.C.) moved to the Community Centre, seen here, © David Regan (2021). The village had at one time a Methodist Church of 1832, now demolished (site). Also known as Denholme United Methodist Church, it stood on Burnley Road at SE 0383 2497, and is marked on the earliest available map of 1854 as Wesleyan Association, and on later maps as Free United in 1907, and U.M. Church in 1933. It is still marked on an O.S. map of 1972-1987. What may be the original access to it can be seen here. Both © David Regan (2021). An old photo of the chapel can be seen here. It also says (here) that it was demolished in the 1960's. The site of St. Walburga (R.C., 1898-1991) on Burnley Road. It's also referred to as Denholme Catholic Church.

The former Wesleyan Methodist Chapel on Magna Mile and Redhill Lane is now a private residence. It's dated on Genuki to 1896-1997. TF 1980 8913. © David Regan (2011). It was preceded by an earlier chapel on Chapel Lane, which Genuki dates to 1838-1896. I don't think it has survived - it stood somewhere on the right (west) side of the Lane, as seen here in a Streetview from 2009. The village also had a Free United Methodist Chapel on Kiln Hill, at TF 1998 8912. Genuki provides dates of 1857-1933. Although the building on the site today betrays no obvious signs of having been a chapel, it looks old enough. It was seen by Streetview in 2009.

Its likely predecessor is shown as a Wesleyan Chapel on Piddington Road at SP 6571 1778. Pre-dating a map of 1885, the building on the site today was seen by the Streetview van in 2021. Does anything of the chapel survive?

Several churchyard monuments are listed separately here. The (former?) Mission Hall on Andover Road. This source, which dates it to 1904, says it was Wesleyan Methodist. SU 2662 5071. An O.S. map of 1958 shows a Place of Worship west of the church near the railway tracks, at SU 2619 5085. It doesn't show on a map of 1926. I haven't been able to discover anything about it. It stood somewhere along the tree line in this Streetview from 2011. A large scale map of 1900 shows a Baptist Chapel (Ruin). It isn't clear exactly which building is intended, but as Chapel Lane is close by, it's reasonable to assume that it was somewhere along here. The following grid ref. is for the centre of the lane - SU 2640 5092. This Streetview of 2009 is looking along Chapel Lane from its western end.

Ludwell, Wiltshire, the former Congregational Chapel. ST 9107 2277. The former Primitive Methodist Chapel. Its My Primitive Methodists entry provides a closure date of 1965, but not of its building or opening. It certainly pre-dates 1887, when it appears on the earliest map I have access to.

Ludworth, Co. Durham, the site of St. Andrew, destroyed by fire in the early 1980's. The street sign seen in the photo says St. Andrew's Court. The church, which was of wooden construction, was put up in 1902. NZ 360 414. © Martin Richter (2019). Photos of the church are available here and here. According to the Harrison & Harrison (Organ Builders) website, the organ was transferred to St. Aidan at Acomb, York, implying that the church had closed prior to the fire which destroyed it. A Primitive Methodist Chapel stood on Margaret Street at NZ 3624 4144. The site, as seen by the Streetview van in 2010, is now occupied by a bungalow. It seems to date from the mid-1890's, and the latest map I can find which labels it (as Meth. Ch.) is of 1951-2. The 1958-60 map shows what appears to be the same building as Warehouse. The village also had a Wesleyan Methodist Chapel, also demolished. It stood at NZ 3610 4153, and was built at roughly the same time as the P.M. Chapel. The buildings in the area had been demolished by the late 1930's, and sports fields are now in their place. The chapel stood about halfway to the distant trees in this 2010 Streetview.
