The former U.R.C. on New Road, as seen by Streetview in 2024 - a handsome building in the classical style. A map of 1881 labels it as Congregational. A June 2023 news report tells of its intended closure the following month. TQ 5951 9359.

Great Warley
Brentwood Mosque (2024 Streetview) on Warley Hill is labelled on some older O.S. maps as a Methodist Chapel. It seems to have closed as Methodist fairly recently, as a photo of it here is dated "circa 2020". It dates it to 1892, and says the predecessor Wesleyan chapel of 1878 survived at the rear of the later chapel, and was subsequently used as a schoolroom. Closure is dated to 2021. TQ 5929 9292. Link.
Older O.S. maps show a Chapel adjacent to the cemetery for the County Lunatic Asylum, at TQ 5878 9245. It survives, presumably converted to residential use, on Pastoral Way, and was seen by Streetview in 2024.

The cemetery on Woodman Road has a Mortuary Chapel, at TQ 5974 9235. I think it's (barely) visible to Streetview in 2024, from Conifer Drive (just its roof).
St. James originally stood in the grounds of Fairsteads (source), and so can be identified with the Mission Church shown on a map of 1898 at TQ 5889 9008. It was subsequently moved to, and is presently at, Baildon in West Yorkshire - see the Baildon page for a photo.
