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. SX 000 719. © Steve Bulman (2010). Two additional views -

St. Mary (CoE) has
been demolished. It stood at SW 9905 7205, and the site can be seen

Wadenhoe,
Northamptonshire. The church has two dedications -
St. Michael and All Saints, and St. Giles. Two additional views - 1,

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

David advises that the village was re-sited at the bottom of the hill, a new

can only be reached on foot, and it was ramblers who raised the money for its

Grade II listing, which says that the church was built with the proceeds of
the sale of an earlier "Victorian" church. 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

Welling, Greater London, Welling Evangelical Free Church
on Upper Wickham Lane and Balliol Road.
This shows on a map of 1909 as
Primitive Methodist. It was relatively new at this time, as it doesn't show on
the edition of the late 1890's. TQ 4670 7635. © Alan K. Taylor (1985). A more
recent view is available on Google Streetview

Very close by is S and R Domestic Appliances (Streetview).
This stands on the site of (and may include fabric of) Bethel Baptist
Chapel, which shows on a map of 1864. This was Wesleyan Methodist by the time of
the 1896 map.

Grade I listed. The churchyard has a good number of
listed tombs - they can be found
here. Old O.S. maps (from as early as an edition of 1873-88) mark
Ebenezer Primitive Methodist Chapel at ST 7409 5833. There
is some evidence that this may be a rare error on the part of the Ordnance
Survey, as other sources list it as Free Methodist (and later, as United
Methodist). It seems to have still been in use into the 1970's, but has since
been converted to residential use. It can be seen
here in a 2008 Streetview.
The Wesleyan Methodists also had a chapel here, on
High Street, at ST 7370 5810.

Congregational Chapel once stood at SE 016 865, the

century, and was converted to serve as the village hall in 1956. This burnt down
in 1997 (see photo post-fire,
reproduced with permission). Note that the pitch of the roof seems very similar

Bible Christian Chapel
at the junction of Glastonbury Road and Newtown Lane, as seen on a 2016
Streetview. It shows on the 25" O.S. map of 1886 as Chapel (Nonconformist),
as Bible Christian Chapel on the edition of 1903, and on a map of 1930 as
a United Methodist Free Church. It may be the Bethel B.C. chapel
mentioned
here
as having opened in 1851. ST 5466 3847. The same source mentions a
Wesleyan Methodist Chapel having opened in 1803,
but doesn't locate it. It was succeeded by a new chapel at Piltown in 1847. This
will probably be the one marked on the 25" map of 1886 at ST 5533 3898.
Satellite views suggest it survives (or at least, a building with the same
footprint occupies the same site), and a
2016
Streetview shows what I think is the building.

Street and Chapel Street was originally Wesleyan, built in 1908. It's now a
heritage centre. SK 5314 7108. Both © David Regan (2020). This
link makes reference
to an earlier chapel of 1894, and quotes another source as it having been
converted to use as a Sunday School. An examination of the 25" O.S. map of 1897
suggests that the older chapel survives as the rear part of today's church.

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.
