A Bible Christian Chapel is shown on a map of 1878 off the south side of Fore Street at SW 5222 3070. Demolished at some point, its site can't be seen on a Streetview.

The former Ebenezer Chapel, converted to residential use. The date-stone reads "Methodist Free Church 1862". A map of 1878 labels it as Wesleyan, and a 1940 list of Methodist places of worship indicates that this had also been a United Methodist church before the 1932 merger. The documents inventory in the National Archives suggests that it may have closed no later than 1967, even though it's still indicated as active on an O.S. map of 1976-7. SW 5172 3066. © Paul E.
