Barking, St. Mary. TM 076 535. © Steve Bulman (2005). Long on the website as "another view" of Coddenham Church, Judy Flynn pointed out that it was nothing of the kind. Moving it to the Unknown page elicited rapid responses from Simon Davies and Judy herself, who both identified it as St. Mary, Barking - so another view, © Steve Bulman (2005). A black and white photo, © Christopher Skottowe (1966). Link. Barking Chapel, © Iris Maeers. Link (scroll down to the bottom).
Barnardiston, All Saints on Church Lane. Another view. TL 7119 4870. Both © Chris Kippin (2021). Three interior views - 1, 2, 3, and the font, all © Chris Stafford (2013). Link1. Link2.

Another view, and the font, both © Chris Kippin (2021). Link1. Link2. Grade I listed. The cemetery a little way east of the church used to have a Mortuary Chapel. A 2009 Streetview shows the cemetery - the chapel stood about half way along the path. Old maps show that it was built by 1905, and demolished between 1958 and 1981. TL 7630 6458. Cave Adullam Strict Baptist Chapel stands in the village on The Street, at TL 7639 6356. Link; its About Us page dates to it 1838, and advises that it had also been Protestant Trinitarian and Congregational. © Chris Kippin (2021). A Salvation Army Barracks 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 stood next to the S.A. building, a former Methodist Chapel. A map of 1884 shows that it was Primitive Methodist.
Barsham, Holy Trinity. From an old postcard, in Geoff Watt's Collection. Link.
Barton Mills, St. Mary on The Street. Another view, two of the interior - 1, 2, the chancel and the font. All © David Regan (2019). Link1. Link2. Grade II* listed.
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.

Two modern views - 1, 2, the fine porch, interior view, side aisle, the East Window, and the font, all © Steve Bulman (2011). Link. Friends Meeting House and Quaker Hall.

A former Primitive Methodist Chapel stands on Dunwich Road, at TM 4532 7508. It's dated here to 1860, and closed by 1986. It appeared to be in reasonable condition when seen by Streetview in 2010, but was evidently deteriorating by 2021.

Finningham, St. Bartholomew. This was previously in the "Unknown" section, as Elizabeth had bought the picture of a church, believing it to be in West Suffolk, but it proved not to be the church it was advertised as.

According to its grade II listing, it was a pre-existing house when converted to chapel use in the early 19th century. Old O.S. maps show a Gospel Room a little way SE of the village, on Shimpling Road at TL 8364 5230. Its Genuki entry identifies it as Plymouth Brethren, and dates it to "before 1890", closing in 1977. It was seen by Streetview in 2011.

Six inch and 25" O.S. maps from the turn of the 19th-20th century mark a Mission Hall a little way south of the church on The Street.

I've been unable to find any references to it. It stood on the left hand side of the road near the existing buildings seen here in a Streetview from 2009.

TM 191 484. © 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.

The porch, font (with its spectacular cover), and some of the fine wood-carving. All © Christopher Skottowe (1966). Link. Grade I listed. Both links have exterior and interior photos. The former Primitive Methodist Chapel on Yarmouth Road, as seen by Streetview in 2011. 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.
