Ebenezer
Evangelical Baptist Church on Wyndham Street.
According to
Coflein,
the first chapel on the site dates from 1820, but was re-built in 1851 and again
in circa 1900, with closure and conversion "by 1997". ST 2107 8930.
© Gerard Charmley (2010). Of the demolished Siloam Chapel, nothing remains except the vestry. © Gerard
Charmley (2011). Siloam Chapel itself stood
on Commercial Road at ST 2098 8921. The car park on its site was seen by
Streetview in 2023. A
Methodist Chapel used to stand in the interior
corner of a corner plot on Crown Street and Commercial Road. I've been unable to
discover which flavour of Methodism it was, but it pre-dated a map of 1901 and
remained active until the mid-20th century at least.
Coflein
dates it to 1882. Demolished, it stood about where the middle house is of the
three seen here in a
Streetview from 2023. ST 2171 8898. Also marked on older O.S. maps is an
Independent Chapel at the corner of Wyndham Road
and Lewis Street. Other than the map evidence which shows that it was built
before 1901, and was probably still active in 1964, I've been unable to discover
any material pertaining to this chapel. The middle and right hand houses seen in
a Streetview of 2023 stand
on the site. ST 2114 8931.

Genuki entry mentions a Baptist Church
of 1860 - before 1881, but no maps available to me indicate its
location. The grid reference on Genuki

map marks an R.C. Chapel on Bosworth Road at

commemorated in the adjacent side road St. Charles Croft. The present
Catholic Church is St. Charles Borromeo. The
Diocesan Website has a pin marking the church as being on Pickerings Avenue,
off Bosworth Road. The latest (2012) Streeview doesn't go down Pickerings
Avenue, but looking down it from Bosworth Road doesn't reveal any candidates.
The map on the church's own website
has a pin for a church hall and primary school, but not for the church itself.
So was it built on Pickerings Avenue after
2012? The My Primitive Methodists website has an
entry for Meesham (Measham) P.M. Chapel on
Leicester Road, now demolished. It dates it to 1860, and says it was still
active in 1961. The 1904 6" map locates it at SK 3362 1230. Housing was built on
the site, which can be seen here
on a 2010 Streetview. The same 6" map also notices another
Meth. Chap. on Navigation Street. In this
2010 Streetview, the chapel
stood on what are now the nearest few parking bays at the left, perhaps
extending across the wall into the adjoining small garage. Could this have been
the predecessor of the Wesleyan Chapel, as mentioned above?

2023 Streetview. The
Coflein entry
for its predecessor dates this chapel to 1925. The earlier chapel (2011
Streetview), is dated by Coflein in the same entry to 1860, and stood a
little way to the west at SJ 0608 8085. O.S. maps mark another chapel near the
junction of Ffordd Tanrallt with the main road at SJ 0620 8085. Pre-dating a map
of 1878, where it's labelled as Calvinistic Methodist,
Coflein calls it Mynydd Seion, and dates it to 1860. The photo attached
to the entry is incorrect however, showing instead the 1925 Salem chapel -
unless the chapels were identical of course, which seems unlikely. It stood set
well back from the A547 - access to it may well have been from Ffordd Tanrallt,
its site now being parking (2023
Streetview), presumably for the adjacent housing. It was still marked as
active on a map of 1961.

Melness. Howard Richter
advises of several churches and church sites hereabouts. A Free Church shows on
a map of 1875 at NC 5853 6338. The replacement for this building stands at NC
5857 6335. The
entry
on the Scotland's Churches Trust website gives a date for the replacement as "at
the turn of the twentieth century". The church is visible on Streetview
here, and by looking further to the left can be seen the site of the earlier
church. Another website
gives a potted history, including the later building and subsequent demolition
of a bell-tower. I haven't been able to find a photo with the bell-tower.
Some photos of the interior are to be found
here. Some of the
money to enable the building of the afore-mentioned bell-tower came following
the closure of the nearby Cornhill Church. Standing at NC 588 623, it was built
subsequent to the publication of a map of 1875, and shows on a 1905 church just
as Church (so probably Church of Scotland). It was disused by the time of
the 1962 map. Shown on Streetview
here, it's now in use as a B&B (link).
Melness school was designed and built before 1875 to be used as a school and
church, but it was never used as a church.

Milton, Cumbria. A Wesleyan Methodist Chapel shows

building on the site was seen by Streetview in 2022, and is called Chapel
View. Now a B&B, it's website
says that it is a former chapel built in 1927, so it's evidently not the first
building on the site. This

the chapel shown on the 1901 map? NY 5560 6056.

Grade II listed. A Wesleyan Methodist Chapel
shows on old maps at SJ 6817 5930, a short walk south of St. Peter's. Pre-dating
a map of 1882, it remained in active use (presumably as Methodist) at least into
the mid-20th century. Large scale maps show it built close to the roadside,
which Streetview shows as this
building (2022), but a
more appropriate candidate is set further back from the road, and just yards
away - 2009 Streetview.
So is the first building really a chapel, later converted after a new chapel had
been built, or did the O.S. get it wrong?

Wesleyan Chapel marked on O.S. maps where High Street merged into Well Lane (now
Spring Gardens). Unfortunately, none of the maps available to me clearly mark
which building is intended, and it could have been one which was attached to the
eastern side of the United Free Methodist Chapel (see next entry) -
2019 Streetview, or across
the road - 2019 Streetview.
A United Free Methodist Chapel is marked on a large
scale O.S. map of 1892 on High Street at SE 3635 0791. The site is now a car
park, seen by Streetview in
2019. There was another chapel in the village, at the northern end of Chapel
Street, which ran north from High Street. Methodist New Connexion, it only
shows on the earliest map available to me (1892, surveyed 1890). Again, it isn't
clear which building is intended, but its site is probably beneath the furthest
row of bungalows on Judy Row, or beyond its left hand side, seen in a
Streetview of 2009.

assuming that the reference to a bungalow now being on the site is correct, then
I think Streetview shows the

It was presumably closed when the nearby successor Wesleyan chapel of circa 1900
