a 2011 Streetview. A
Wesleyan Methodist Chapel also existed at one time,
along a passageway extending north from Top Street. Present on a map of 1930, it
stood roughly where the building is today at the far end of the passageway, as
seen here on a 2011

former Chapel stands on Little Lane at SK

Grade I listed. The village had two Wesleyan Methodist
Chapels, the first (so far un-located) had a relatively short life,
1818-20 to 1849 (source).
The second stood on the east side of Main Street at SP 8748 9723 and dates from
1849. I don't know if any of it survives. A
Streetview from 2011 shows
the house standing on its site (the central third of that part of the building
parallel with the road). The National Archives

St. Andrew at Whissendine, and the possible chapel is the Methodist Church.

on Oakham Road at SK 8252 1434, though none of them identify it. However this
