Older O.S. maps show a Wesleyan Methodist Chapel on Old Chapel Close at SU 1851 2726. The village Wikipedia entry dates it to 1825, with demolition in 1970. It stood by the roadside where the two trees are in a Streetview from 2009. Also marked on maps, to the north of the village at SU 1827 2767, is Ivy Church On Site of Priory. Ivy Church itself is a farmhouse, which has part of a priory wall built into it, with other fragments upstanding close by. Link, which has a distant photo of the farmhouse, and some surviving fabric of the priory. More photos here. Grade II listed.

Cadley (near Ludgershall), the former Primitive Methodist Chapel. It has a date-stone for 1880. SU 2467 5408. © Chris Kippin (2022). A map of 1880, surveyed in 1879 shows an earlier P.M. Chapel, but it isn't clear exactly which building the label applies to. I think it was somewhere near to SU 2487 5407. This source dates it to 1849-1880, and also says that the later chapel was closed in 1983.

Two more interior views - 1, 2, a knight's tomb (and close up), and the font, all © Chris Stafford (2014). Link. Grade I listed. For listed features in the churchyard, see here. Castle Combe Congregational Church at Upper Castle Combe, as seen by Streetview in 2021. It has a date-stone for 1814. Originally a malt-house, the church took it over and converted it in 1903 (source). ST 8502 7734. Its predecessor stood on The Hill, at ST 8440 7738, and is marked on old O.S. maps as Independent Chapel. The same source dates it to 1757, with demolition in 1935. Its site was seen by Streetview in 2021. A map of 1900 shows a Baptist Chapel behind the buildings lining the west side of The Street, at ST 8419 7711. It appears to have been relatively short lived, as it isn't shown on maps of 1888 and 1923. It (or its site) hasn't been seen by Streetview. Genuki mentions, but doesn't precisely locate (or date) a Primitive Methodist Mission. Not shown on any available maps, I wonder if it could be (or have been near) Bethel Place at Upper Castle Combe, seen by Streetview in 2009. ST 8463 7758.

The 25" O.S. map of 1901 shows a Mission Room on an apparently un-named narrow road or path off Ridgeway, at ST 9686 3249. If all or any of it survives, it will be in one of the two properties visible here in a 2011 Streetview. It is still marked as Mission Room on a map of 1962, but not marked on one of 1984.

The first is marked as St. Andrew's Chapel, and it stands a short way north of the church at ST 9918 4424. Here is its 2011 Streetview. Link. A little further north again, across the road, is marked the site of All Saints Church. It stood in the fields behind the house seen in this 2009 Streetview. An illustration, plan and history is available here, where it says the church was mostly demolished in 1861, the chancel following in 1877.

A glimpse of the entrance to the cemetery can be had from this 2011 Streetview, but the site of the chapel can't be seen because of the hedges.

This cottage on Gaston Lane is indicated on old maps as a Zion Particular Baptist Chapel. ST 8546 8603. © Janet Gimber (2017). Howard Richter has been looking at the available maps of Sherston, and wonders if the house in the photo may not have been the actual chapel - in this particular map (6", 1924), Sherston is just above the extreme bottom edge, and the row of buildings north of Gaston Lane (and angled away from it) shows a public building (the blacked-in oblong) immediately adjacent to the houses on its northern edge. This may have been the chapel, though whether it survives is not known as yet.

The village Wikipedia entry mentions a Quaker Meeting House as collapsing in the 1960's. A photo of the ruin can be found here (scroll down, and it's the second in the montage, a gravestone from the graveyard being the first), where it also says it dates from the 17th century. O.S. maps of 1886 and 1900 show an Independent Chapel in woodland at ST 8441 7367. After 1900 it's not labelled until 1977, when it shows as Friends' Meeting House (remains of). So was this a meeting house and later a chapel before falling into dereliction, or has the O.S. made a rare mistake?

Steeple Ashton, St. Mary the Virgin (O) on Church Street. The church once (unsurprisingly) had a steeple - the tallest in the county apart from Salisbury Cathedral. Damaged by lightning in a storm in July 1670, repairs were almost complete when another storm in the October of the same year demolished the steeple, killing two workmen who were working on it at the time, and causing much damage to the church itself. It was decided that after twice being hit, it might be tempting providence to re-build it a third time. Interior view, and the font. All © Simon Edwards (2011).

The same map marks a "Chapel (Catholic Apostolic)" a short way south-east of the village, opposite the northern end of Loder's Lane, at ST 9659 2693. This source (useful for all of these churches) says that it was originally an Irvingite Church (a Wikipedia article here) of which the Catholic Apostolic Church was its direct successor. The source referred to earlier also mentions a Mission Hall, which old maps show standing at ST 9651 2716. It also supplies a building date of circa 1888 and says that it was moved soon after WWI, but doesn't say where it was moved to.
