church took it over and converted it in 1903 (source).

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.

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.

Steeple Ashton, St. Mary the

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

another "Metht Chap" a short

The village used to have a church - St. Edward. Its
graveyard survives, a little way north of the Methodist. Large scale O.S. maps
give the grid reference of the church as SU 1754 3487. It's dated
here (where there is an engraving) to 1326-1867. The surviving graveyard was
seen by Streetview in 2011.
Winterbourne Earls, St.
Michael and All Angels.
It's dated in its
grade II listing to 1867.

(History
page). The war memorial in the churchyard is listed as
grade II. Large scale O.S. maps shows St. Michael's
Ch. (Site of) a short distance away at SU
1731 3449. The site hasn't been seen by
Streetview. Older O.S. maps show a Wesleyan Methodist
Chapel at Hurdcott, at SU 1696 3375. Pre-dating a map of 1881, it
survived (presumably as Methodist) at least up to the mid-20th century.
Demolished at an as yet undetermined date, it stood behind the hedge seen
centrally in a 2019 Streetview.

building on the site was seen by the Streetview van in 2021.

maps show what is surely a predecessor just across the road at SU 2353 3208. The
house on the site (does anything of the chapel survive?) was seen by
Streetview in 2008. The
following three churches are all at Middle Winterslow. A
Methodist Chapel (originally
Wesleyan) stands

Grade II listed. The former
Wesleyan Methodist Church (1848) on High Street has an interesting history.
At some point it became the Methodist Church, and it was closed at a so far
unknown date prior to 1997, at which point it came back into use as St.
Brihtwold (Anglican
Catholic). It only had a short run, and closed again in 2002. All © Janet
