Widcombe, Bath, Somerset - see

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,

site can be seen here, on a

garden, where its Sunday School used to be. Its My Primitive Methodists
entry (which includes a photo, dates it to 1897, replacing an earlier one on
Humble Lane. Humble Lane seems to have gone, and so presumably has the old
chapel. The other chapel was Bible Christian, at NZ

The Methodist Church
on Roe Land and Main Street.
As this
history relates, a Wesleyan Chapel was built on the present site in 1887
(the history referred to includes a photo of the church as it was soon after it
was built). Whether the present church is a re-build or a radical overhaul is
now at present known to me. SK 6311 4775. © David Regan (2020). The same history
also mentions the first Wesleyan Chapel of 1827 on
Roe Lane, which still exists as "The Institute". This survives, and can be seen
here on a 2009 Streetview.
Circa SK 6312 4784. The former Primitive Methodist Chapel
on Main Street is now in residential use. It can be seen in a
2008 Streetview. Its
My Primitive Methodists
entry dates it to 1851, with subsequent
alterations and enlargements. It also says it was closed in 1962. The present
building (Chapel Cottage) is radically different to the chapel seen in a photo
here,
and one wonders what (if any) is left of the original building. SK 6275 4777.

Hannah
More, who worked to improve the lot of local mine and agricultural workers.
There's a bust of her in the porch,
as well as a bust of the philosopher
John Locke, a native of
the parish, though he's buried at High Laver in Essex. ST

Grade I listed. A Non-conformist meeting house was established at a
farm on Wrington Hill in 1714, about
a mile from the village. Now called Meeting House Farm, Carole's photo just
gives a general view - whether the meeting house survives is not at present
known. ST 48685 63724. © Carole Sage (2017). It was succeeded by
Wrington Chapel
(1815) on Roper's Lane and Chapel Hill. This is probably the Independent
Chapel mentioned in an 1868 gazetteer. It has also been Congregational, and
latterly U.R.C. ST 46924 63182. © Carole Sage (2016). The former
Methodist Church, originally
Wesleyan. Dating from 1864, it was closed in the early 1970's, and it is now
used by the local Scouts and Guides. © Carole Sage (2017).
Writhlington, Somerset, the former St.
Mary Magdalen, made redundant in 1981, and now in residential use.
Grade II listed. The former
Methodist Church on Manor Road, originally Primitive Methodist (1913). It
had recently been sold when Janet took her photo.

Wych Cross, East Sussex. At first glance this
church looks a bit like Whippingham on the
Isle of Wight, but it isn't. Diana Bond had asked for help in identifying it.
Paul Smith has advised that Wych Cross Church, which was dedicated to St.
Richard de Wych, although never consecrated, was built in 1866 and demolished in
1975.
