Aiskew, St. Mary and St. Joseph (R.C.). SE 270 884. © Bill Henderson. Methodist Church (1922). SE 271 885. © Michael Bourne. A memorial stone is built into its base. Howard suspects that it may also have been Primitive Methodist originally, as it pre-dates the merger of 1932.
© Howard Richter (2015). A former Primitive Methodist Chapel of 1869 stands behind (and is attached to) the Methodist Church. It has seen use as a Community Hall. The Methodist Church itself is now closed (the congregation having joined with that of Bedale). Circuit closure notice.

Grade II* listed. The 25" O.S. map of 1909 shows a Wesleyan Methodist Chapel at SE 2637 6936. Other maps show that it  was built before 1891, and it seems to have closed between 1956 and 1976.

Appersett, burial ground. Not shown on the 1856 O.S. 6" map, the 1894 edition has it as disused. The 1912 map shows a Friends' Meeting Room nearby, so the burial ground was in all likelihood theirs, though whether it still exists is not, at present, established. This source gives it dates of usage as 1891-1906. A little history here. Another view. SD 860 907. Both © Howard Richter (2017).

Wesleyan Chapel (closed in 1993), known locally as "Bottom Chapel". In use as a B&B, and for sale in 2014.

A 2020 news item about its proposed sale, and another from 2023 regarding its future use. The site of the Friends' Meeting House and extant burial ground. Old maps show that the house stood on the level ground at the far end of the plot. Some of the fabric may survive in the substantial walls. A plaque gives a date for the burial ground of 1703. Link, which gives dates for the house of 1704 (built), 1863 (closed) and 1924 (demolished). It also says that the burial ground is entered through a re-set doorway from the house. SE 0015 8836.

Bagby, St. Mary. Interior view. Its grade II listing dates it to 1862, and the design (which, to say the least, is unusual) is by E.B. Lamb. SE 4634 8063. Both © Kenneth Paver. Two additional views - 1, 2, another interior, the altar and the font, all © Chris Stafford (2013). Link. The 25" O.S. map of 1912 marks a Wesleyan Methodist Chapel, at SE 4657 8057. It pre-dates a map of 1856, and appears to have still been active in 1956 when a map of that vintage labels it as Chap., at which time it was presumably Methodist. Seen here by the Streetview van in 2011, it's now called The Old Chapel, and presumably in residential use.

Methodist Church on Sherburn Street. This news item from 2006 dates the church to the 1830's (with the present frontage added in 1907), and notes its planned closure. At the most recent Streetview visit in 2012 the church was still standing, but its usage (if any) isn't apparent. A map of 1891 indicates it as Wesleyan. SE 5726 3772. © Bill Henderson. The Primitive Methodist Chapel (now demolished) stood on Thorpe Lane at SE 5757 3763. Its My Primitive Methodist entry dates it to 1856, and says a bungalow was built on the site. I think this is incorrect, as a study of maps and satellite views indicates that it is this property shown on a Streetview of 2008. Old maps show that the cemetery, which stands to the north-west of the village, once had a Mortuary Chapel. The 25" O.S. map of 1908 shows that it was a double chapel, with the Church of England chapel to the north-east, and Non-Conformist to the south-west. Streetview doesn't give a clear view, but satellite images suggest it hasn't survived. SE 5705 3802.

 Link. Grade II listed. The cemetery to the south of the village used to have a Mortuary Chapel, shown on older O.S. maps at SD 7420 6845. Demolished, its site was seen by Streetview in 2009. I think the low wall with the 90 degree bend in it formed part of the chapel's northern and eastern walls. Clapham railway station stands over a mile south-west of the village, and near the station is Wenning Bank, a former Sandemanian Chapel. Its grade II listing says the chapel was on the upper floor, presumably lit by the large round-headed window. SD 7337 6778.

A Primitive Methodist Chapel used to stand on West Way at SE 5609 7045. It's dated here to 1852, and was still marked as a place of worship (but not labelled) on a map of 1952. At some point closed and demolished, its site was seen by Streetview in 2011 (the area with trees to the right of the house). A photo of it can be seen here. A Chapel is shown on older maps on Church Hill, at SE 5614 7055. It survives, converted into a house, and was seen by Streetview in 2011. It is identified here (there is an old photo too) as a Wesleyan Chapel, dating from 1902. It must have had a predecessor, as Wesleyan documents are referenced in the National Archives for the years 1848-1971. A map of 1891 indicates a Meth. Chap. (Wes.) on Key Lane. It doesn't show which building the label is intended for, but a good candidate survives, seen by Streetview in 2009. A cottage (Rose Cottage) on Brandsby Street is mentioned here as having been used as a Catholic Chapel in the early 19th century. Streetview saw it in 2009. SE 5629 7070.

The 1894 map shows an earlier Wesleyan Chapel just to the west of Goodenber Road, at circa SD 6654 6934, but the exact building isn't indicated precisely enough to identify its location accurately. I think it will have stood somewhere behind the buildings seen here in a Streetview from 2022. I haven't been able to find any references to it.

The former Bethel Congregational Chapel (1809) stands on Levenside at NZ 5244 0849, and was seen by Streetview in 2016. Other than the date-stone, it gives no indication of having once been a chapel. An obvious former chapel stands on College Square at NZ 5255 0872. Primitive Methodist, it's dated here to 1903, with closure circa 1950. It also says that it was preceded by an earlier chapel of 1835 on Back Lane. It survives as Elim Church (source), which was seen here by Streetview in 2016. NZ 5218 0861. Grade II listed. The cemetery on Helmsley Road and Station Road has a Mortuary Chapel, at NZ 5290 0851. It was seen by Streetview in 2008.

SE 002 866. Both © Howard Richter (2016). Link1. Link2. In a field across the road from the P.M. chapel once stood a medieval chapel. According to this link,
The 'great chapel of Thoralby,' in which Mary Nevill founded a chantry in 1316, was possibly a domestic chapel. It was dedicated to All Hallows, and was still used in 1536. It is not afterwards mentioned. It must be supposed that it closed during the Dissolution. Howard advises that the book mentioned here says that monks are buried here.

Thorganby, St. Helen. © Bill Henderson. Link. Thicket Priory was originally a house of the mid-1840's, converted to be a Carmelite Monastery in 2009. It stands on the site of a medieval Benedictine Priory which fell victim to Henry VIII. According to the Wikipedia entry, the medieval building was only demolished in 1850, so perhaps there are illustrations out there somewhere. © Mike Forbester. Grade II listed.

All © Howard Richter (2016). Link, which includes a photo of the earlier chapel here. A Congregational Chapel once stood at SE 016 865, the site of which is now occupied by the village hall. Built in 1851, it shows as "Independent Chapel" on the OS map of 1856, and was later Congregational. It closed about the middle of the 20th century, and was converted to serve as the village hall in 1956. This burnt down in 1997 (see photo post-fire, reproduced with permission). Note that the pitch of the roof seems very similar to the old engraving of the chapel available here. The present building dates from 1999, but may not have exactly the same footprint as the chapel.

Widdale, the former Methodist Chapel. The date-stone shows 1856, which date is confirmed as building rather than enlargement by the fact that the 1856 O.S. map doesn't show a building on the site. The history recounted by various websites show that it was for many years a school (since before the 1913-16 O.S. map, anyway), and continued as such until it was closed, in the very early 1930's. The O.S. map of 1979 marks it as Chapel. The church only rented a room, never owning it outright. It continued as a place of worship until 1994, at which time the building was auctioned off. Various attempts have been made since to convert it to residential use, but even as late as 2016 conversion work remains unfinished. Two additional views - 1, 2. SD 8265 8784.
