Chadwick End, possible former chapel.
Another view. ca. SP 207 730. Both © John Bowdler (2011). John thinks that a former chapel marked on old maps is this building. There is another nearby on
Netherwood Lane (the Netherwood Lane Free Church), but there was no obvious evidence that the building survives. Can you provide more information about either?
Howard Richter has been examining old maps, and doubts that this is the old
chapel, which he thinks stood about 50 yards to the east of the main road. A
Mission Church in the late 19th century, on the 1961 map it was shown as
Chadwick End Church (CofE). Howard suspects that neither the Mission Church, or
the Free Church, survive.

Not photographable at the time of John's visit, the new entrance vestibule can
be seen in a Streetview from
2020 - it hardly seems to be an improvement on the earlier entrance, seen in a
Streetview from 2011, which
at least had consistency of construction materials. Why was it necessary to
change it? Link.

Grade I listed, wherein it's dated to
circa 1290 for the Knights Templar, and
"Much restored in late C13 style by Sir George Gilbert Scott, 1849".
This
source however, suggests it was built by the Knight's of St. John
(the Hospitallers), after 1322. My edition of Pevsner favours the
Templars, and the late C13.
