Addington, St. Mary the Virgin. Interior view, the chancel and the font.
SP 7426 2849. All © David Regan (2018 & 2019). Link. Grade II* listed.
Adstock, St. Cecilia. SP 7350 3011. © David Regan (2018). Link. Grade I listed. An otherwise unidentified Methodist Chapel shows on O.S. maps on Church End at SP 7356 3013. Genuki says it is/was Wesleyan, built in 1889. Streetview saw it in 2011 - its appearance makes me wonder if it was re-built at some point.
Akeley, the site of the demolished St. James the Apostle. SP 7080 3779. © David Regan (2017). Photos of the church are available here and here (the latter slow to load, but it has a good history of the church). A former Wesleyan Methodist Chapel stands a little way east of the site of the church, on Chapel Lane at SP 7092 3780. It pre-dates a map of 1885. Streetview saw it in 2011.
Amersham & Amersham Old Town.
Ashendon, St. Mary the Virgin. Two extra views - 1, 2, two of the interior - 1, 2, and chancel, and the font. SP 7051 1421. All © David Regan (2019). Link. Grade I listed.

 Link. Grade II* listed, wherein it's dated to 1873, by Street. A Baptist Chapel used to stand on Hog Lane, at SP 9754 0537. It's described as Baptist Chapel (General) on a map of 1887. This source says it closed in the early 1900's. Its site is shown at about the middle of a 2019 Streetview, on the left of the road.
Aston Abbotts, St. James on Cublington Road. SP 8473 2024. © Bill McKenzie. Another view, © David Regan (2019). Link. Grade II* listed. Old O.S. maps also show two chapels in the village, an Independent at SP 8467 2015, and a Primitive Methodist on The Green at SP 8480 2008. Both chapels survive, in residential use, and a little history for both is available here, where it says that the Independent was also later P.M. The Independent was seen by Streetview in 2011, and the Primitive Methodist in 2021 (its date-stone for 1832 can be seen by zooming-in). O.S. maps show The Abbey at the west end of the village. According to its Wikipedia entry it got its name from having been built on land formerly owned by St. Albans Abbey.
Aston Clinton, St. Michael and All Angels. SP 8793 1195. © Les Needham. Link. Grade II* listed. Baptist Church, dating from 1897. SP 8801 1240. © Les Needham. The disused (and recently sold) church at Buckland Wharf. Believed to have been Gospel Hall of Christian Brethren. SP 8953 1149. © Les Needham. Les has advised (2009) that the Gospel Hall is now demolished, and a private residence is being built on the site.
Aston Sandford, St. Michael & All Angels. Another view.
SP 7565 0787. Both © David Regan (2019). Link. Grade II* listed.
Astwood, St. Peter. SP 9505 4738. © Bill McKenzie. Now closed - see disposal notice. Grade II* listed. A Congregational Church is shown on old O.S. maps on Cranfield Road at SP 9527 4727. It survived in active use to the mid-20th century at least, but was demolished at some point. Its site was seen by Streetview in 2021.
Aylesbury, Church of the Good Shepherd (Anglican) on Church Square. SP 8168 1233. © Clai Philpott. Link.

Ballinger, St. Mary Mission Hall (1873). SP 9104 0323. © Les Needham.
Barton Hartshorn, St. James. SP 6407 3091. © David Regan (2019). Link. Grade II listed. Large scale O.S. maps mark Hermitage (Site of) to the south-east of the village at SP 6515 3068. According to this source it was the hermitage of St. Stephen and St. Lawrence. Its site stands within the wooded area on the horizon in a Streetview from 2009.
Beachampton, Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Another view, two of the interior - 1, 2, the chancel and the font. SP 7705 3706. All © David Regan (2019). Link. Grade II* listed.

Bierton, St. James the Greater. Two further views - 1, 2
. SP 8362 1527.  All © David Regan (2019). Link. Grade I listed. Old large-scale O.S. maps mark two chapels and a Mission Hall. A Wesleyan Methodist Chapel still stands at the corner of Burcott Lane and the A418, apparently now in commercial use. It was seen by Streetview in 2008. A short distance to the west on the A418 is a former Baptist Chapel - it was also seen by Streetview in 2008. The Mission Hall stood behind roadside buildings, also on the A418, at SP 8387 1557. Aerial views suggest that it hasn't survived. It stood behind the buildings (or their predecessors) seen here in a Streetview from 2021.

Bletchley, St. Mary.
SP 8631 3378. © John Balaam (2009). Link. Grade I listed. The famous WWII Bletchley Park code-breaking establishment had a chapel, Hut 12, used by Roman Catholics and Christian Scientists. © Janet Gimber (2019). Old maps show a Wesleyan Methodist Chapel on Buckingham Road. Today called Freeman Memorial Methodist Church, it was seen by Streetview in 2020. SP 8661 3348. Link.

Bourne End, St. Mark.
SU 8951 8712. Link. St. Dunstan (R.C.). SU 8947 8743. Link. Both © Chris Kippin (2021). A map of 1912-26 marks a Wesleyan Methodist Chapel on Furlong Road. Labelled on a map of 1971 as The Bourne End Methodist Church, it seems to have survived into the 1980's at least, but it has since closed  (Wikipedia says it closed in 2002) and is now a nursery school. Streetview only provides a poor view (from 2018), but the nursery website provides a better one. SU 8956 8713. Cores End U.R.C. (previously Congregational) stands on Kiln Lane at SU 9038 8729. A date-stone dates it to 1804, replacing an earlier chapel of 1768. Another refers to an enlargement in 1881. All © Chris Kippin (2021). Link, with a useful history here. Grade II listed.
Bow Brickhill, All Saints on Church Road. Two extra views - 1, 2. SP 9114 3441. All
© David Regan (2019). Link. Grade II* listed. Wesleyan Methodist and Congregational Chapels are indicated on the large scale O.S. map of 1901. Both are on Station Road, the Wesleyan at SP 9060 3459, and the Congregational at SP 9044 3463. The latter has gone, its site now the parking area in front of houses (2021 Streetview). The Wesleyan site is now occupied by a school. Its grade II listing makes no mention of it having previously been a chapel, so does anything survive of it? The old school building has the same footprint as the chapel, with the exception that it extended onto what is now the adjacent parking area. 
Brill, All Saints. The tower.
SP 6563 1385. Both © Steve Bulman. U.R.C. on High Street is shown on older maps as Congregational. SP 6542 1393. © David Regan (2019). Link. The grade II listing dates it to "circa 1839". The former Methodist Chapel was build as Wesleyan in 1841, and has been converted to residential use. SP 6559 1373. © David Regan (2019).
Broughton - see Milton Keynes.
Buckingham.
Buckland, All Saints. SP 8879 1245. © Les Needham.
 Link. Grade II* listed. The war memorial in the churchyard is listed as grade II. Older O.S. maps show a Wesleyan Methodist Chapel at SP 8869 1248. Wikipedia dates it to 1831. It survives (converted), and was seen by Streetview in 2021.
Buckland Common, the former Baptist Chapel (originally Particular Baptist), now a private residence called Chapel House. The village Wikipedia entry dates it to 1860 to the 1980's. SP 9212 0714. © Les Needham. The village also had an Anglican Chapel of Ease (wooden), mentioned in the aforementioned Wikipedia article, which dates it to soon after the Baptist Chapel,
and "pulled down in about 1939". The path which probably lead to it can be seen in this Streetview from 2019. The church stood a little further back than, and left of, the building among the trees. SP 9210 0716.

Calverton, All Saints. Another view. SP 7903 3901. Both © David Regan (2017). Link, with history and photos. Grade II* listed.
Castlethorpe, St. Simon and St. Jude. SP 7991 4450. © Les Needham. Link. The former Methodist Chapel (now a nursery) on South Street and School Lane, which shows on older maps as Wesleyan. SJ 7990 4437. © Les Needham. Link, wherein it's dated to 1811.
Chalfont St. Giles, St. Giles. SU 9910 9351. © Chalmers Cursley.
 Link. Grade I listed. The lych-gate is listed as grade II. Deanway United Church (Methodist and U.R.C.) on Deanway, as seen by Streetview in 2019. A postcard available here shows that it was originally Primitive Methodist. SU 9869 9335. Link. A Congregational Chapel stood further east along Deanway, at SU 9884 9338. The chapel was set back from the road, and Bond House now stands on the site (Streetview 2021). It's dated here (where there is an old postcard view of it) to 1901-1972.
Chalfont St. Peter, St. Peter, as seen by Streetview in 2018. TQ 0005 9087. Link. Grade II* listed. For listed features associated with the church, see here. Latimer Minster at Stampwell Farm (over a mile and a half WSW of the town). This is certainly the only tent on this website, but it is a church licensed by the Church of England. SU 9737 8998. Photo taken on behalf of Carole Sage. Link. St. Joseph (R.C.) on Bull Lane and Austenwood Lane. It was seen by Streetview in 2021. SU 9969 8998. Link. All Saints (Streetview 2008) on Oval Way. TQ 0007 8950. Link. Grade II listed, wherein it's dated to 1912, by Temple Moore. Gold Hill Baptist Church meets in The Hub on Church Lane. I think it's this building, seen by Streetview in 2018. SU 9997 9084. Link. Gospel Hall (2019 Streetview) on The Vale. SU 9983 9079. Link.
Chartridge, Mission Church on Chartridge Lane. It's either the same building as, or is built on the the site of, a Baptist Chapel, which pre-dates a map of 1878. SP 9315 0376. © Les Needham. Link.
Chearsley, St. Nicholas. Another view, three of the interior - 1, 2, 3, and the font. SP 7203 1031. All
© David Regan (2019). Link1. Link2. Grade II* listed. A cross shaft and base in the churchyard is listed as grade II. Old maps show a Baptist Chapel on Wichendon Road at SP 7170 1078. The house on the site today is called The Old Chapel (2009 Streetview), but it betrays no signs of its history. Does anything of the chapel survive, or is it a later build on the same site?
Cheddington, St. Giles. SP 9222 1801.
 © Les Needham. Link. Grade II* listed. Methodist Church (built as Wesleyan in 1902). SP 9210 1732. © Les Needham. Link. Older O.S. maps show an earlier Wesleyan Chapel nearby, on High Street, at SP 9222 1729. It pre-dates a map of the early 1880's. Converted, it's now known as Chiltern House, seen here by Streetview in 2020.
Chenies, St. Michael, is the resting place of the Dukes of Bedford. TQ 0157 9836. © Chalmers Cursley. Another view, © Alan Wilson. Another view, three of the interior - 1, 2, 3, two of the several fine monuments - 1, 2, and the font, all

Chesham Bois, St. Leonard (Evangelical Anglican). Another view. SU 9689 9982. Both © Les Needham.
 Two more views - 1, 2, both © Chalmers Cursley. Link. Grade II listed. The cemetery has a Chapel at SU 9666 0009. Not seen by the Streetview van, a photo of it can be seen here (pdf). Our Lady of Perpetual Succour (R.C.) on Amersham Road, as seen by Streetview in 2021. SU 9596 9993. Link includes an interior view. The history page dates it to 1915, successor to earlier temporary buildings, the earliest from 1908.
Chetwode, St. Mary and St. Nicholas (aka Chetwode Priory). Two interior views - 1, 2, and the font. The church retains two sets of box pews for families - these are sufficiently tall to hide the occupiers from the congregation and vicar! SP 6405 2979. All © David Regan (2018). Link. Grade I listed.
Chicheley, St. Lawrence. Another view. SP 9046 4586. Both © David Regan (2018). Link (has interior photos). Grade I listed.

A former Methodist Chapel stands a short distance east of the church, at SP 8393 2223. It was originally Wesleyan, and pre-dates a map of 1883. Aerial maps suggest that it survives (or replaced by a building with the same footprint), but it hasn't been seen by the Streetview van, and I haven't been able to find a photo.
Cuddington, St. Nicholas.
Two views of the interior - 1, 2, the chancel and the font. SP 7374 1121. Link. Grade II* listed. The Methodist Church on Lower Church Street was built as Wesleyan (SP 7381 1129). It pre-dates an old O.S. map of 1899, and it had a predecessor on Holly Tree Lane. Holy Tree Cottage occupies the same footprint as the old chapel, though judging by appearances on a 2019 Streetview, little or nothing remains of the chapel (unless you know better!). Link. All © David Regan (2019). The village also used to have a Baptist Chapel on Dadbrook. This source dates it to 1831 (and the Wesleyan to 1894). The garages seen in this 2021 Streetview now stand on its site. An old photo of it can be found here (which dates it to 1829-1993). SP 7386 1105.

Dagnell, All Saints. SP 9917 1628. © Bill McKenzie. Link. Grade II listed. The village also used to have a Wesleyan Methodist Chapel, on Main Road South, at SP 9934 1610. Pre-dating a map of 1884, it seems to have survived into the second half of the last century, but has been demolished, as this Streetview from 2019 shows.
Denham, St. Mary. TQ 0430 8700. From an old postcard in Steve Bulman's Collection.
 Link. Grade I listed. A (former?) Methodist Chapel (originally Wesleyan) stands on Cheapside Lane at TQ 0397 8674. Its uncertain status is because Google Maps suggests it's still active, but it's appearance (2019 Streetview) suggests otherwise.
Dinton, St. Peter and St. Paul. SP 7668 1107. © Clai Philpott. Another view, the splendid doorway and tympanum, all © David Regan (2019). Link. Grade I listed.

The Baptist Chapel on Chapel Lane, as seen by Streetview in 2011. It has a date-stone for 1830, with enlargement in 1883. SP 8394 2845. The village also has a former Primitive Methodist Chapel, on Carrington Hall Road. This source dates it to 1912 replacing an earlier and smaller chapel of 1847. Streetview saw it in 2011. SP 8419 2879.

Edgcott, St. Michael and All Angels. Another view. SP 6800 2280. Both © David Regan (2019). Grade II* listed. The village also had a Congregational Chapel on Buckingham Road, at SP 6814 2272. Demolished, it's dated here to 1825. The latest available map to show it as a place of worship is from 1949. It stood at about the gap in the hedge at the dead centre of a 2009 Streetview.

Emberton, All Saints. Another view, two interior views - 1, 2, and the font. The angel war memorial is unusual. Why was the village clock tower built to resemble a church tower? SP 8850 4945 (for the church). All © David Regan (2017). Link. Grade II* listed.

Fenny Stratford, the former Salvation Army hall on Church Street, now in use as a youth centre. It's dated here to 1887. Circa SP 8815 3408. © Rob Kinnon-Brettle. St. Martin. SP 8825 3407. From an old postcard in Reg Dosell's Collection. A modern view, from Streetview in 2021. Link. Grade II* listed, wherein it's dated to 1724-30, with later additions and alterations. Queensway Methodist Church, on Queensway, as seen by Streetview in 2018. It's dated here to 2009. SP 8789 3387. St. Thomas Aquinas (R.C.) is on Aylesbury Street and Sycamore Avenue. It was seen by Streetview in 2019. SP 8813 3372. Link. The Potter's House Christian Fellowship Church meets in the Community Centre (a former Temperance Hall of 1892) on George Street. Streetview saw it in 2018. SP 8807 3405. Link. Older O.S. maps show a Wesleyan Methodist Chapel on Watling Street, at SP 8811 3419. As of 2021, its site (Streetview) remains undeveloped. On a map of 1881 there's a Primitive Methodist Chapel on Aylesbury Street at SP 8815 3394. In 2021 (Streetview) there was an Indian Restaurant on the site. Another vanished chapel was the Baptist Chapel on Aylesbury Street, at SP 8818 3387. It's called Spurgeon Memorial Church here, where there is a photo, and it's dated to 1892. In this 2021 Streetview, it would have stood partly under the flats at the left, extending onto the garage forecourt. The cemetery off Aylesbury Street used to have two mortuary chapels. These were Nonconformist at SP 8796 3369, and Church of England at SP 8796 3372. Only the latter survives, and it was seen (distantly) by Streetview in 2021. The other chapel stood a short distance further left.

Gayhurst, St. Peter. One of Simon Jenkin's "Thousand Best Churches", David was disappointed that it was locked, and the signage on the approach was designed to discourage visits. Another view. SP 8465 4625. Both © David Regan (2017). Link. Grade I listed.
Gerrards Cross, St. James.
Its grade II* listing dates it to 1859. TQ 0009 8793. From an old postcard in Steve Bulman's Collection. Link. The Methodist Church on Oak End Way, as seen by Streetview in 2019. TQ 0060 8866. Link. The history page dates it to 1958, and explains that it was preceded on the same site by a tin church of 1908. St. Andrew (U.R.C.) on Packhorse Road. It was seen by Streetview in 2021. TQ 0027 8855. Link. St. Michael's Convent (Anglican) on Vicarage Way. Their website has a photo of the buildings, and on the Chapel page, a photo of the interior of the chapel. TQ 0054 8826.
Granborough, St. John the Baptis
t. Another view, and the unusual and effective war memorial. SP 7678 2500. All © David Regan (2019). Link. Grade II* listed. A former Methodist Chapel stands on Winslow Road, at SP 7669 2515. Labelled on older O.S. maps as Wesleyan, it was seen by Streetview in 2021. Genuki, quoting from an old directory, dates it to 1871, and it seems to have been closed no later than 1955. Other material on the same page implies that it had a predecessor, though it doesn't mention its location.
Great Brickhill, St. Mary the Virgin on Church La
ne. SP 9011 3079. © Bill McKenzie. Two extra views - 1, 2, both © David Regan (2019). Link. Grade II* listed. The village also had Baptist and Wesleyan Methodist Chapels, the Baptist on Cuff Lane at SP 9048 3008, and the Wesleyan on Pound Hill at SP 9049 3039.  The Methodist Chapel may survive in some form as Chapel Cottage (Streetview 2019), but the Baptist has been demolished. It was set well back from the road, and would have stood behind the modern houses seen here in a Streetview from 2011. Both chapels pre-date a map of 1890.
Great Horwood, St. James. Interior view, the chancel, and the font. SP 7707 3120. All © David Regan (2018). Link. Grade II* listed. A converted Congregational Chapel stands on the B4033 at SP 7720 3128. Seen by Streetview in 2011, its grade II listing dates it to 1821, converted from a barn. There's also a former Primitive Methodist Chapel (Streetview 2021), on Little Horwood Road, at SP 7722 3123. Its My Primitive Methodists entry dates it to 1875-1950's.

Pre-dating a map of 1900, it seems to have survived in active use until the 1950's at least. On large scale maps it's not clear which building the label applies to, but small scale maps show that it was on the south side of the road - somewhere near here (Streetview 2009). I haven't been able to discover its affiliation, or a photo.
