Quainton, Buckinghamshire, St. Mary and Holy Cross on Church Street. Two additional views - 1, 2, two of the interior - 1, 2, the chancel, and the font. The church is notable for its many fabulous monuments - here are some examples - 1, 2, 3, 4. SP 7500 2015. All © David Regan (2019). Link. Grade I listed. A Baptist Chapel stands set back from Church Street, at SP 7476 2024. It can be seen in a Streetview from 2011, and it pre-dates a map of 1883. Link. A Primitive Methodist Chapel is also shown on the same map, on Lower Street at SP 7342 2011. Now The Old Chapel, it was seen by Streetview in 2011. It was still active into the 1950's at least.

Quarff, Mainland, Shetland, Church of Scotland. It's dated here to 1828-9, where it also says that in 1993 it was "reported to have been disused for some time". HU 4285 3547. © Tim Flitcroft (2012). After the previous church closed, what had been a Free Church (so named on a map of 1901) was used by the CoS, but that too closed and the building is now in residential use. Another view.

Quarley, Hampshire, St. Michael and All Angels. One of only 2 churches I know which have the bells outside the church (the other being Levens in Cumbria).

Quarndon, Derbyshire, St. Paul (1874) on Church Road. SK 3349 4102. © Mike Berrell (2011). Link. Grade II listed, wherein it's dated to 1872-4. The churchyard walls, railings and war memorial share a grade II listing. There are some scant remains of the medieval church towards the southern end of the village, at SK 3326 4013. Its grade II listing describes it as essentially an end wall, covered in ivy. It stands within an old graveyard, access to which I think will be along the path seen in this Streetview from 2023. An old illustration and old photo can be seen here. The former Wesleyan Methodist Chapel is dated 1859. Also on Church Road, it's now in secular use. SK 3344 4096. © Mike Berrell (2011).

Quarrington Hill, Co. Durham, the site of the demolished St. Paul, as seen by the Streetview van in 2009. A photo of the church is available here - it also supplies dates of 1868-1991. Demolition (for subsidence) followed two years later. NZ 3347 3791. This source mentions "St. Paul's Worship Centre in Quarrington Hill", which we must assume was the successor of the church. The last service was held in 1999. I haven't been able to discover a photo, or its location, but it may well have been the local community centre. Can you confirm this? The village also had Primitive and Wesleyan Methodist Chapels, both of which survive, though re-purposed. The P.M. was built in 1886 on Front Street, at NZ 3366 3745, and on later maps is labelled as Front Street Methodist Church. Now in commercial use, it can be seen in this 2010 Streetview. Mount Zion Wesleyan stood on Church Street at NZ 3368 3752. It had been built no later than 1902. Its 2009 Streetview suggests that it's now in residential use.

Jan Bradley had sent me some scans of old stereoviews. This one was identified by Phil Draper. Phil was able to date one of the others as being of pre-1873 vintage, so this one is probably of a similar date. Grade II* listed.

Quenchwell, Cornwall, Quenchwell Memorial Chapel (Bible Christian, 1906, later United Methodist and Methodist). SW 7977 4132. © Paul E. Barnett (2015). Two additional views - 1, 2, both © Carole Sage (2017), who advises that, although it had been disused for many years (and suffered an arson attack in 2008), it has recently been acquired and re-purposed as Cornwall Islamic Trust. An old BBC webpage has some interior photos from when it was disused. Link advises of closure (as Methodist) in 1999. A map of 1888 shows an earlier B.C. Chapel west of the site of the 1906 chapel, on Chyreen Lane at SW 7956 4133. This source, which has old photos, says that it served as the Sunday School for the later chapel. The house on its site was seen by Streetview in 2023.

Quenington, Gloucestershire, St. Swithin. Interior view, and a pair of fine tombs in the grounds. SP 1484 0391. All © Chris Stafford (2013). Quenington's chief glory is its two stunning Norman doorways, each with a tympanum. The north doorway and its tympanum, and the south doorway tympanum, all © Christopher Skottowe (1964). Grade I listed. Several monuments in the churchyard are listed separately here. Older maps mark an Independent Chapel on Victoria Road at SP 1483 0405. It pre-dates a map of 1882 and had closed no later than 1959. The building on the site today can be seen in a Streetview from 2011. The same map also shows a Plymouth Brethren Chapel, but it doesn't indicate exactly which building is intended, and it had evidently closed by 1902 when the next available map was published. It stood (stands?) somewhere within the row of buildings seen by Streetview in 2011. This source mentions a Baptist Chapel of 1838-1880's, but doesn't locate it, and the 1882 map doesn't show it.

Quintrell Downs, Cornwall, the former Bible Christian Chapel. It had been built before the survey for a map published in 1881, and seems to have gone out of use in the mid-20th century. Another view. SW 8500 6030. Both © Paul E. Barnett (2022). A modern date-stone can be seen on a Streetview from 2023 bearing the date 1872.
Quorn, Leicestershire, Church of St. Bartholomew and Farnham Chapel on Church Lane. Previously in the Unknown section, Richard Marriott was seeking help with the identification of a church on an old photo. Thought to possibly be in the Midlands, Greg Mishevski identified it. A modern view, © David Regan (2016). The church website calls it Saint Bartholomew's United Church, and is now the meeting place for the local Methodist congregation. SK 5612 1659. Grade I listed. Baptist Church on Meeting Street. SK 5579 1622. © David Regan (2020). Link, with a comprehensive history here). Grade II listed. The 1903 25" O.S. map shows a Chapel on High Street, fairly close to the church. Another map of 1919 marks it as "W.M. Chapel", so Wesleyan. According to this pdf document, which has a photo, it was built circa 1819, and has been demolished. It stood at SK 5610 1650. It was succeeded by a new chapel in 1907, close to its predecessor, and it can be seen on a 2018 Streetview here. It has since been converted into flats, and the local Methodists now meet in St. Bartholomew. The same pdf document also identifies another chapel on Meeting Street, which shows on the 1904 6" map at SK 5589 1630. It was a Primitive Methodist Chapel, of 1820-1923, and is now in residential use. Its 2017 Streetview can be seen here (the blue house). Again, referring to the pdf document, two Wesleyan Reform Chapels are mentioned, the first was a house on Meeting Street (precise location not known), which was used from 1850-1855. Its successor of 1855 stands on School Lane, and can be seen on a 2017 Streetview here. It later became a United Methodist Free Church.
