Wadebridge, Cornwall, St. Petroc (C) at Egloshayle. Curiously, Pevsner has it as "St Conan (?)". This is perhaps because of the presence of St. Conan, a Mission Church, in Wadebridge, across the river. To add to this, the church notice board doesn't give a dedication.

The grade I listing says it's "apparently undedicated", of Norman origins, but mainly C15 fabric.

The former Wadebridge Methodist Church is now used by a Bible Christian congregation. SW 9905 7205. It can be seen on a 2018 Streetview. Link. St. Mary (CoE) has been demolished. It stood at SW 9905 7205, and the site can be seen here. The evidently fresh work suggests that the demolition might have been relatively recent when the Streetview camera went past in 2009. St. Michael (R.C., opened 1947) can be seen on a 2017 Streetview. SW 9890 7245. Link. A United Methodist Chapel once stood at SW 9931 7235. The 2018 Streetview shows a house called "Old Chapel" - the chapel itself stood closer to the road.
Wadenhoe, Northamptonshire. The church has two dedications - St. Michael and All Saints, and St. Giles. Two additional views - 1, 2. A curious feature is this blind arcading in the exterior north wall of the tower. Howard Richter has advised that Pevsner, in his Northamptonshire, notes that there are a number of churches with broadly similar features, and suggests that they were simply a local fashion. The other churches mentioned are Brackley St. James, Burton Latimer, Caldecott, Higham Ferrers, Mears Ashby, Moreton Pinkney, Raunds, and Stanwick. Two interior views - 1, 2, and the font.

Waen (near Nantglyn), Denbighshire, Soar Methodist Chapel (Calvinistic). The photo linked to is a Streetview of 2009. SH 9985 6223. Church website (in Welsh). The Coflein entry tells us that it originally dates from 1811, though the present building is of the re-build of 1862. Alternative sources give a foundation date of 1801. Grade II listed (chapel and school). The associated stable of 1811 is also grade II listed.

Wainfleet Bank, Lincolnshire, the burial ground, and site of the demolished All Saints - it's successor was All Saints in Wainfleet All Saints. TF 4727 5922. © David Regan (2020). The former St. Luke on Back Lane is labelled as St. Luke's Mission Church & School on older O.S. maps. David speculates that it may have been a mission from All Saints in Wainfleet All Saints. Can you confirm this? Its Genuki entry dates it to "before 1890". TF 4694 5935. © David Regan (2020). The former Methodist Church on Mill Lane of 1838-1990's was originally Primitive Methodist.

Built post-1892, it shows as School on the 1914 OS map, and is included in a list of Methodist Chapels as Wesleyan in 1940.

David advises that the village was re-sited at the bottom of the hill, a new church built (St. Mary), and the old church abandoned to its fate. The church can only be reached on foot, and it was ramblers who raised the money for its upkeep, hence the nickname. © David Regan (2016). Link. Grade I listed.

Waltham Abbey, Essex, the Parish Church of Waltham Holy Cross. Not the Abbey, as this has always been the parish church. The adjacent abbey was a victim of Henry VIII, but the parish church was unmolested. Originally a church was dedicated here in 1060 by the later King Harold. The core of present church has more or less the same footprint. Two further views - 1, 2, and an interior view, all © Christopher Skottowe (1964). Christopher Skottowe has an old album containing (among other things) a sketch of a church, which has previously been in the Unknown section. Though there's no indication of the date of the sketch, it is probably from late Victorian times. Simon Davies has identified it as Waltham Abbey in Essex, before Victorian alterations increased the height of the tower. Two additional views - 1, 2, interior view, the altar, and a fine monument. King Harold is allegedly buried here - a stone marks the site. All © Peter Morgan (2015). Link1. Link2. An old engraving of the church can be seen here and (coloured) here.

This was at SE 5511 0123, and a "Streetview" shows the site with gravestones. In fact, as Howard Richter points out, although the previous church was indeed Victorian, or perhaps a little earlier, it had succeeded a medieval one, as registers commence in 1594, and the record of rectors commences in 1225. A directory of 1889 mentions it as a "modern" building, and says that there were building works in early 18th century, and on several occasions in the 19th. As the "Victorian" church was only demolished in 1946-8, there must be photos or illustrations somewhere. The former Wesleyan Reform Chapel on High Road. It has a foundation stone for 10 July 1937.

Whitwell Colliery, Co. Durham, once had a Primitive Methodist Chapel. The colliery site, which is about 3/4 of a mile north-east of the village and now on the other side of the A1(M), consisted of colliery buildings, several terraces of housing, and the chapel, has now been completely returned to green fields. I've been unable to find a photo, and other than a single mention of its existence, nothing on the web either. A Streetview from 2020. NZ 3085 4054.

Whitworth, Lancashire. Whixall, Shropshire, St. Mary. As Sandy points out, the old gravestones built into the wall suggest that this is a re-build and he supplies a date of 1869. The listed building text says 1867, perhaps meaning the commencement of building work. Interestingly, the listing text says that the old church, which no longer exists, was a quarter of a mile away, so either the gravestones were moved, or the new church was built on a pre-existing graveyard. © Sandy Calder. Grade II listed. Methodist Church at Welsh End, built as Primitive Methodist in 1859.
