the tower must have had major alterations. Simon Davies, Greg Mishevski, and
Janet Gimber have all confirmed that Judy was right, and advised that the top
stage of the tower is a 20th century addition. Some links -

already in existence at the time of a mining disaster nearby in 1846. After the
mining disaster, the pit was graded into tiers and dedicated to the memory of
those who died in the disaster. It was restored with the aid of lottery funds in
about 2003. More recently, the lease was taken over by the Parish Council and a
new Management Committee formed to manage and promote the use of the Pit. The
village cemetery is next door.".

Severn Beach,
Gloucestershire, the site of the demolished St. Nicholas on Church Road. It was
a "tin tabernacle" and seems to date from around the 1940's. Still open as
recently as 1992, the discovery of asbestos forced its closure and subsequent
demolition. Housing was built on the site, and the church would have stood
rather closer to the roadway than the left hand house in Carole's photo. A photo
of the church was available
here,
but the website wasn't working when I tested it. ST 54447 84814. The
site of the demolished Catholic
Church of Our Lady on Riverside Park. The building date is not presently known
exactly, but was probably in the 1930's or 1940's, and it was still open into
the 1970's. Subsequently demolished, a house was built on the site, though the
church stood a little further away from the road. ST 53922 84738.

(Independent Evangelical) stands on Gorse Cover Road.

85185. It is successor to the 1960's Emmaus Chapel on Green Lane which was
demolished to allow for road building. It stood
here, at ST 54210 85185.
The church was originally founded in the 1930's, meeting at first in old Nissen
huts on Shaft Road, and also in a marquee at Salthouse Farm.
Link; the
history page
includes a photo of the Nissen huts. Severn Beach Methodist Church used to stand
on Beach Avenue. The congregation from St. Nicholas shared the building after
their church was closed in the 1990's, and the church was subsequently re-named
as Severn Beach Christian Family Church, and a few years later as Severn Beach
United Church. Built sometime after WWII, structural problems forced its closure
in (or soon after) 2011. The site
is being re-developed for housing, and the church was located towards the rear
of the plot, to the left of the conifer tree. A photo of the church was
available
here, but the website wasn't working when I tested it. ST 53973 85113. The
site of Rosary Priory on
Shaft Road belonged to The Order of St. Gilbert of Sempringham of The
Modified Rite, who are Liberal Catholics. Information relating to this
building is hard to come by, but its demolition may be related to its proximity
to the nearby M4. It shows on maps up to the 1970's. ST 54069

A lovely C14 church on a riverbank. Roger relates the following old story - "An
amusing legend told in these parts is about a long ago funeral at Shapwick's
notoriously flood prone church. Mourners were interrupted by a sudden great
storm as they lowered the deceased into the grave. As Shapwick quickly became
flooded they abandoned the proceedings for higher ground. However,
returning later they found the coffin had floated into the River Stour and was
never to be seen again!" © Roger Hopkins.

Sherburn Hill, Co. Durham,
Methodist Church (1851, enlarged 1902). A map of 1947 marks this as "Ebenezer",
and the
church website (which includes an interior photo) says it was built as
Ebenezer Primitive Methodist. It further says that the church absorbed the
congregation from the nearby Bethel Wesleyan Methodist, becoming Sherburn Hill
Methodist Church at that time. NZ 3354 4210. © Colin Coates.

Howard Richter has been looking at the available maps of Sherston, and wonders
if the house in the photo may not have been the actual chapel - in this
particular map (6", 1924),
Sherston is just above the extreme bottom edge, and the row of buildings north
of Gaston Lane (and angled away from it) shows a public building (the blacked-in
oblong) immediately adjacent to the houses on its northern edge. This may
have been the chapel, though whether it survives is not known as yet.
