SK 4819 9147. © David Regan (2021). This source mentions a private house, licensed for protestant dissenter worship in 1806 (and hence a possible predecessor for the Wesleyan Chapel), at 35 Morthen Road. The Round Houses, as they are known locally, can be seen on a Streetview of 2019, though I can't determine which of the two houses is the one referred to.

Widcombe, Bath, Somerset - see Bath.
Widdale, North Yorkshire, the former Methodist Chapel. The date-stone shows 1856, which date is confirmed as building rather than enlargement by the fact that the 1856 O.S. map doesn't show a building on the site. The history recounted by various websites show that it was for many years a school (since before the 1913-16 O.S. map, anyway), and continued as such until it was closed, in the very early 1930's. The O.S. map of 1979 marks it as Chapel. The church only rented a room, never owning it outright. It continued as a place of worship until 1994, at which time the building was auctioned off. Various attempts have been made since to convert it to residential use, but even as late as 2016 conversion work remains unfinished. Two additional views - 1, 2. SD 8265 8784.

Chap. on a O.S. map of 1956, it isn't labelled on the map of 1973, so had presumably closed by then. © David Regan (2020).

Its site can be seen here on a 2009 Streetview, roughly opposite the house. Its My Primitive Methodists entry dates it to 1839, with demolition "before 1977". Note that the map therein is inaccurate.

Old maps show that the village also had a Wesleyan Methodist Chapel at one point, set back slightly from the north side of Church Road at TF 6205 0509. Shown on the 1885-6  O.S. map, it's later indicated as a United Methodist Chapel, but although the 1938-52 map still shows the building, it's no longer labelled, suggesting that it was closed by then. Its Genuki entry calls it Wesleyan Reform, and dates it to 1842 to "before 1952". The building seen here on a Streetview from 2009 stands on the site - does anything of the chapel survive?

Given the windows facing the main road, it could well be that the 1922 date-stone refers to a refurbishment of an existing building rather than a new build.

David advises that it has a date-stone for 1903, and a foundation stone for 1854. Old maps imply that the 1903 date is correct - is 1854 the date of the congregation or perhaps of an earlier chapel? © David Regan (2021). My appreciation to Rev. Canon Keith Farrow for getting in touch, and advising that 1903 is the correct date, the 1854 stone having been taken from the first Ebenezer Chapel, which stood on Ebenezer Square. Ebenezer Square no longer exists, and no available maps show the old chapel. It will have stood somewhere about SE 3612 0394, in the area of housing bounded by High Street, George Street, and Pantry Well.

Seen by Streetview in 2021, it was Wesleyan, so likely to have been successor to the previous entry.
