Gospel Hall on Cawston Road bears a date of 1891. A map of 1906 labels it as Plymouth Brethren. TG 1913 1687. © Gerard Charmley (2010). Link.

Methodist Chapel on White Hart Street. Pre-dating a map of 1908, neither it, or other available maps, show what flavour of Methodism it originally was. However, Genuki identifies it as Wesleyan, founded in 1842. Interior view. TG 1944 2702. Both © Gerard Charmley (2010). Link.

The former Primitive Methodist Chapel (1887) on Mill Road (formerly Buttlands Road). TG 1900 2671. © Gerard Charmley (2010). Link.

Quaker Meeting House in Peggs Yard, off Red Lion Street. Circa TG 1937 2695. © Gervase N. E. Charmley (2009). Link.

St. John of the Cross (R.C.) on White Hart Street, as seen by Streetview in 2016. Its Genuki entry says it was founded in 1961, though a R.C. Chapel is shown here on a map of 1906. This history clarifies things - the earlier date refers to the small Chapel of St. Teresa of Avila built in 1899, now used as the sacristy of St. John, built in 1961. TG 1952 2703. Link.
