The Churches of Britain and Ireland

Hartland, Devon.

 

Hartland Abbey stands a little way to the W.N.W. at SS 2406 2491. Its grade I listing says that "The present building ... occupies the site of and probably to some extent incorporates the western range of the abbey, [and] the abbot's lodging". It hasn't been seen by Streetview, but there are photos on the Hartland Abbey website. Link.

Several sources mention Our Lady and St. Nectan (R.C.) (e.g. here) dating it to 1964-2010, demolished 2012). This source, which has a photo, says it stood on Well Lane. The only Streetview visit was in 2009, and only shows the entrance to the lane.

The former Providence Bible Christian Chapel stands at about 2½ miles east of the village at SS 3027 2355. It has a date-stone for 1859. © Chris Kippin (2024).

The former St. John on Fore Street is described on an information board as a Chapel of Ease to St. Nectan, and dates it to 1839. SS 2589 2441. © Chris Kippin (2024). Grade II listed. The same information board also says that there was a preceding chapel of ease (St. Andrew) located "on the south side of the square, adjacent to the present medical centre". In this 2009 Streetview the medical centre is directly ahead, with the rear of St. John to its left.

The former Wesleyan Methodist Chapel on an apparently un-named side street off West Street. It pre-dates a map of 1885 and seems to have still been active into the mid-20th century. SS 2573 7442. © Chris Kippin (2024).
