is indicated on old maps of 1903 to 1958, although on none of them is it clear
which building is intended. However, this
source says
that the surviving clock tower (seen
here by Streetview in 2021

that it was Primitive Methodist.

Bawdsey, former chapel, now in secular
use. This may have been the Wesleyan Chapel as mentioned on
Genuki. © Iris Maeers.
Howard Richter has confirmed that this was indeed the Wesleyan chapel, and
further advises that it was founded (per Genuki) in 1886. It shows on the 1904
OS map at TM 346 405. It was preceded by an earlier Wesleyan nearby at TM 3466
4022. The earliest OS map is of 1881, and this chapel is shown on it. Probably
it is the one mentioned in Lewis' 1831 Topographical Dictionary, but when it was
founded is presently not known. This older chapel stood quite close to the
present parish church, St. Mary (link,
with photos). Howard quotes the
grade II listing which says that the church was C14, but mostly re-built
after 1842, when a fire started by a firework let off during a 5 November
display launched from the church tower severely damaged the building.

here, from Streetview in

houses rather than their having a chapel. TM 3933 5814. © Richard Roberts

Benedictine Priory (see
here for example), but
no available maps indicate exactly where it stood. It's reasonable however to
speculate that it was somewhere hear Abbey Farm, which is at TM 3904 5793.

Wesleyan, it was seen by

here to
1877-1988, where it also says that it had had predecessors of 1801 and 1842. The
locations of these, and whether either survives, is so far unknown to me. The
local Workhouse also had a chapel, at TM 1360 3727.
This source, which includes
a photo of the chapel, dates its closure (by which time it was a hospital) to
1991. It has since been converted to residential use.

Iris Maeers. Howard Richter has advised that this was an Independent, and later Congregational Chapel. From old gazetteers, it was Independent in 1870/2, and had
become Congregational by 1894/5. Closed "before 1949", it was used as a grain store, before re-opening in 1963 as Datchet Evangelical Fellowship, later
known as Rural Ministries. It finally closed in May 2010 (link). This "For Sale" notice includes an interior view, and specifies that it may only be used for
non-residential purposes. This later
planning document says that the intended use is as a shop. Link, which has a history

Although all available on-line maps label it as Wesleyan (the earliest
available is from 1883), this
source says it was built as Primitive, and closed in 1987 (as
Methodist). One old map labels it as Byng Brook Chapel. TM 2947 5324.
Nearby on maps from the first half of the last century can be seen a
Mission Room. It's unclear exactly which
building is intended, but my guess would be that it was
this one, seen
by Streetview in 2011 (it had gone by 2016). Otherwise it stood nearby,
probably to the right. Circa TM 2853 5331.
