Stapley, Somerset, the former Wesleyan Methodist Chapel - a tin tabernacle. It's marked on the 1:2,500  O.S. map of 1889, but from the evidence of later maps had gone out of use sometime between 1906 and 1930. At some point the chapel building was moved from its original location at ST 1891 1349. It now stands on the other side of the road, and is used by a local mortician. What may be the original foundations remain visible. Both © P. L. Kessler / The History Files.

Steeple Ashton, Wiltshire, St. Mary the Virgin (O) on Church Street. The church once (unsurprisingly) had a steeple - the tallest in the county apart from Salisbury Cathedral. Damaged by lightning in a storm in July 1670, repairs were almost complete when another storm in the October of the same year demolished the steeple, killing two workmen who were working on it at the time, and causing much damage to the church itself.

Maps reveal the following history - 1857 and 1896 "U.P. Church", 1910 "U.F. Ch.", and 1964, "U.F. Church". Howard considers that this is likely to be the Cairns United Free Church, in which case it was founded in 1776, with a new church replacing it in 1854 (source). The location of the earlier church is so far unknown, but it will be the latter church whose site is on the photo. By 1991 it had been demolished, and re-developed for the housing now on the site.

TQ 335 858. © Mehmood Naqshbandi, and reproduced from his website Muslims in Britain. One of Judy Flynn's postcards (previously in the Unknown section) - labelled as St. John the Evangelist and Queen's Road. From the publisher on the back (Hickox & Son, Finsbury Park (London)), Judy thinks that this is the demolished church of St. John which stood on Gloucester Drive and Queen's Drive, Stoke Newington, now replaced by a modern church, visible on Google Earth here. Certainly the boundary wall looks similar. Can you confirm Judy's suspicions? Brian Curtis suspects the identification is sound, and has supplied links to the following evidence - description (the central tower which it mentions must be hidden by the gable end), maps on http://www.old-maps.co.uk/maps.html show that the situation of the church at the junction of the two roads is identical, and the information that the Queen's Road was changed to Queen's Drive after WWII. Janet Gimber concurs, and has drawn my attention to the Google Earth aerial view, and old maps, which leaves no doubt.

Methodist Church on High Street. NZ 5233 0858. Originally Wesleyan, it's dated here to 1886-7. © Martin Briscoe. Another view, © Colin Waters Collection. Link. Grade II listed, wherein it's dated to 1866. This source lists two predecessors. The earliest, of the later 18th century, stood on Beck Side, "behind West Green Deli", which is at the southern end of West Green. Next came a chapel of 1812 on Brewery Yard, off what is now North Road, and the source has a drawing of it. I haven't been able to locate Brewery Yard. 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.

The Methodist Church also stands on High Street, on the site of Zion Primitive Methodist Chapel. In fact not quite on the same site, as old maps show that Zion stood with its long axis at 90° to the road, extending away from the three parking bays at the right side of the plot seen in a 2020 Streetview. Despite having been demolished relatively recently, I've been unable to find a photo of Zion. SK 4141 5969. Link. Both © David Regan (2021). There was at one time a Baptist Chapel, just a few yards west of Zion, at SK 4135 5966. Demolished, its site is behind the house seen here in a 2020 Streetview. It's dated here to 1877 to "after 1995". There was also a Free United Methodist Chapel (Bethel) on High Street at SK 4154 5972. National archives references documents pertaining to the chapel to 1879-1969. A photo is available here, and the house occupying the site today can be seen in a 2020 Streetview.

According to this source the cemetery dates from 1884; whether the chapels date from the same time is so far not clear. SK 3813 6138. All © David Regan (2021). There was at one time St. James Mission Church in the village, at SK 3917 6123. First marked on a map of 1917-18, it appears to have still been active as late as 1978. This source says it was closed "about 1975" and later demolished. I've been unable to find a photo. Its site lies somewhere within the woodland on the left of a Streetview of 2019.

Stubbings, Berkshire, St. James the Less (1849-50). The postcard of "Stebbings" Church had been on the website for rather a long time, listed under Stebbing, Essex. The Rev. Tim Goodbody, of Stebbing, has been in touch to say that this isn't his church. I listed it under Stebbing rather than Stebbings because I couldn't find any trace of a Stebbings place-name in the UK, and under Essex, because I could find only one Stebbing. We have Sue Hedger to thank for solving this mystery - it is in fact Stubbings, in Berkshire. Sue says she isn't aware of a name change, so this has to be lain at the door of the postcard manufacturer for getting it wrong! Older O.S. maps label it as St. Philip and St. James.

Sunningdale, Surrey, St. Alban. Another postcard from Judy Flynn's collection, previously in the Unknown section. It was thought that it might possibly be the demolished one mentioned here (just beneath the church photo). The postcard was posted in 1905. Howard Richter advised that the footprint of the church in the postcard is not contradicted by map evidence, and the grid reference would have been SU 943 660. It appears to have been built between 1900 (not on a map of that year), and before 1915. Another old postcard shown here (scroll down) is again entirely consistent with this being the Sunningdale St. Alban's.

Sutton Poyntz, Dorset, the former Sutton Road Evangelical Church, as seen by Streetview in 2016. It's mentioned in a planning news story here where it's dated to pre-1937-2009. Work had commenced by the time of the next Streetview visit in 2021. SY 7056 8359. There was a medieval Chapel here. Not shown on O.S. maps, an information board in the village shows it somewhere north of the water works, at circa SY 7056 8405. If this position is correct (and some sources says that its location is uncertain), it would have stood somewhere near the grassy area in the middle distance, seen in a Streetview from 2009. The view is somewhat different today, as housing has been built along the road - Streetview 2021. Large scale O.S. maps mark Prospect Cottage (On Site of Church), with "Church" in the font indicating an ancient site, on Plaisters Lane at SY 7053 8374. I don't know if this is an alternative site for the medieval church mentioned earlier, or for a different one. Prospect Cottage was seen by Streetview in 2021.

It may have since closed, as the current Methodist website only mentions Oasis, a "community space and Fair Trade Shop". Certainly, the church has lost its signage  - 2022 Streetview. Yes, closed - a newspaper article from 2017 (which dates it to 1816, re-built 1863) discusses its sale, and it includes an interior photo. A map of 1901 shows a Methodist Chapel (Free United) on Church Street at SK 3023 1956. Still in active use into the second half of the last century, it has since been demolished. Its site was seen by Streetview in 2016. A former, and increasingly derelict, Primitive Methodist Chapel (2022 Streetview) stands on Wilmot Road at SK 2956 1943. It was already boarded up at the time of the first Streetview in 2009. A large scale map of 1884 shows that it was originally smaller, and set further back from the road. There was another P.M. on Highfields Street (now Highfields Road) at SK 3000 1916. So labelled on a map of 1923, it first shows on a map of 1901, and it had been demolished no later than 1949. There's now housing on its site, seen by Streetview in 2022.

The present St. Peter replaced the medieval St. Peter which stood on a nearby site which had become prone to flooding. The 25" O.S. map of 1873-1888 shows a Grave Yard (Disused) by the river, at ST 965 271. A general view can be seen here on a 2016 Streetview. The same map marks a "Chapel (Catholic Apostolic)" a short way south-east of the village, opposite the northern end of Loder's Lane, at ST 9659 2693. This source (useful for all of these churches) says that it was originally an Irvingite Church (a Wikipedia article here) of which the Catholic Apostolic Church was its direct successor. The source referred to earlier also mentions a Mission Hall, which old maps show standing at ST 9651 2716. It also supplies a building date of circa 1888 and says that it was moved soon after WWI, but doesn't say where it was moved to. The site can be seen here behind the hedge across the road on a 2011 Streetview.
