Its Coflein entry supplies dates of 1846, re-built 1878, and lists it as Calvinistic Methodist, but, as Howard Richter has advised, this is erroneous. He points out that Ordnance Survey maps consistently label the building as Wesleyan, and this is supported by other sources. It can be seen on a 2010 Streetview here - the building with the blue roller door.

Spotted when driving (without my camera), subsequent research has revealed nothing about this possible former chapel, except that it's not marked as a place of worship on any available maps, as far back as 1864. NY 3722 5948. There used to be a small Wesleyan Methodist Chapel in Cargo village, at NY 3649 5912. This source dates it to 1856/7, closing in 1968. It says it's "doubtful whether any of the structure remains standing". Curiously, it isn't shown on any of the available maps prior to the 1" of 1954, and the small scale makes it difficult to decide exactly where it stood. The best I can say is that it stood somewhere on the left hand side of the road seen by Streetview in 2012.

Carisbrooke, IOW., St. Mary. SZ 4855 8825. From an old postcard in Reg Dosell's Collection. Originally in the Unknown section, Elizabeth Moore was looking for help in identifying the church on a photo bought at a sale in Kettering. This is an enlargement, but the original has written by hand on the front "Photo taken in 1964", though additional writing on the back implies a 1950's date. The church itself is evidently large, and the multi-stage tower with external staircase is distinctive. Note particularly what appears to be a middle pinnacle projecting outwards from the face of the tower - a most unusual feature. It was identified by Phil Draper, and Elizabeth herself. Link1, with history here. Link2 (scroll down). If you are planning a photographic visit, this last link includes the helpful comment that
John Smith's house at Castlehold was licensed for Congregational worship in 1672.

Cassington, Oxfordshire, St. Peter. SP 455 106. © Brian J. Curtis. My appreciation to Brian Curtis and Greg Mishevski for identifying the next image of the church, which was originally in the "Unknown" section. Original entry follows - "Andy Davidson is researching for a book on the history of the "Carry On" films. One of them has an aerial shot of a church and is interested in being able to place it. If it's stock footage, then it could be anywhere. If it was taken especially for the film, then it's likely to be in Berkshire, or nearby. Can you help?"
Cassop, Co. Durham,
Methodist Church (1960-1) on Front Street. Since Bill took his photo, the church has been closed. An undated auction sale notice mentions planning permission for conversion to residential use. NZ 3460 3846. © Bill Henderson. A Primitive Methodist Chapel of 1842 stood off Front Street, on what is today an area of housing almost encircled by Wilson Close. Its site is behind the garages in this Streetview of 2009. It seems to have gone out of use by 1940. NZ 3457 3837. A Wesleyan Chapel of 1842 (listed as High Street Methodist Church in 1940) stood on Front Street at NZ 3435 3825. Its site is within the trees seen in this 2010 Streetview. Presumably this continued as the village Methodist Church until the 1961 one was opened. A map of 1978 shows that it had been demolished by then.

A Wesleyan Methodist Chapel shows on older O.S. maps, and it was still active (presumably as Methodist) at least as late as 1950. Evidently demolished, its site was in use as a parking area when seen by Streetview in 2009. Another Methodist Chapel stands on Bailey Street at TF 8179 1507. Not labelled to denomination, it must be the Primitive Methodist Chapel mentioned on Genuki, where it's dated to 1831, "closed by .... 2013". It was seen by Streetview in 2018. Abbey Cottage stands just west of St. James, on the corner of South Acre Road and Priory Road (according to Google Maps), or on Church Lane, according to its grade II listing. Its eastern facing gable  - seen here on a Streetview from 2009 - is perhaps part of a C15 Chapel, present on a C17 map. TF 8151 1504.

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.

There was at one time a Priory (Benedictine Nunnery) to the west of the village at TL 77790 35560 - grid ref. from this source, which says that only a small fragment of masonry survives.

It stood in the churchyard, seen here in a Streetview from 2021, close to the road. The village also had a Chapel on South View Terrace, at SK 4245 8842. This is very likely to have been the Methodist Chapel (originally Wesleyan) mentioned here, where documents dated to 1906-1990 are referenced. However, old maps show that it existed at least as early as 1893. A bungalow stands on the site today, as seen by Streetview in 2021.

Since demolished, the chapel stood here, as seen on a 2011 Streetview, nearer to the road than the bungalow, and at 90 degrees to it. This source dates it to 1876 or 1877, and says it was preceded by an earlier chapel of 1826 at the junction of Lippet's Way and Scot's Lane.

Catterlen, Cumbria, the site of the vanished Primitive Methodist Chapel, as seen by Streetview in 2021. Were the ghost of this chapel to appear, it would be hanging in mid-air, as even the ground beneath it was removed in the construction of the M6. It was roughly in line with the properties in the middle distance, over what it now the hard shoulder, or perhaps just to its left. It's dated here to 1867. I've been unable to find a photo.

The Primitive Methodist Chapel (now demolished) stood on Thorpe Lane at SE 5757 3763. Its My Primitive Methodist entry dates it to 1856, and says a bungalow was built on the site. I think this is incorrect, as a study of maps and satellite views indicates that it is this property shown on a Streetview of 2008. Old maps show that the cemetery, which stands to the north-west of the village, once had a Mortuary Chapel. The 25" O.S. map of 1908 shows that it was a double chapel, with the Church of England chapel to the north-east, and Non-Conformist to the south-west. Streetview doesn't give a clear view, but satellite images suggest it hasn't survived. SE 5705 3802.

Previously listed as Capel Jerwsalem (Calvinistic Methodist, 1899, © Martin Briscoe), while revising these pages and comparing with the building on Streetview, it's apparent that this identification is wrong - and I haven't been able to establish where this chapel is. Old maps show that there was a Capel Jerusalem in the village, at SH 9509 4848, and the present building on the site was seen by Streetview in 2021. It's date-stone reads "Neuadd Uwchaled 1927", but this wasn't the first chapel here, as a map of 1888 shows Jerusalem Chapel (Calvinistic) on the same site. It seems to have long been out of use, as a mid-20th century map doesn't show it as a place of worship. Link.

Further west along New Road is the site of a demolished Wesleyan Methodist Chapel, at TL 3953 8630. A care home has been built on the site, and this was seen by Streetview in 2022. The Primitive Methodists were also represented, with a chapel at the junction of Bridge Street and Chapel Lane. It's dated here to 1850, with closure by 1926. It's tempting to think that the building seen in a Streetview from 2008 is the chapel - the roof is suggestive. TL 3902 8675.

Chilton Lane, Durham, the site of St. Luke Mission Church, as seen by the Streeview van in 2009. It stood directly opposite Church Street, at the left end of the terrace of houses. It pre-dates a map of 1897, and had evidently been enlarged by 1939. A Wikipedia article dates it to 1878. I've been unable to establish a closure date, but it seems to have been active at least into the late 1980's. NZ 3037 3115. A Primitive Methodist Chapel stood a short distance south of St. Luke, on the opposite side of the road, at NZ 3042 3110. This too was enlarged at some point, as its footprint on old maps demonstrates. It survived as Methodist into the 1980's, and was built before 1897. The Streetview van passed its vacant site in 2009. The Wesleyans had a presence too, at Ferryhill Station, NZ 3025 3174. Again pre-dating a map of 1897, the last map I have access to which labels it is from 1939.

The 1:50,000 O.S. map of 1960 (surveyed no later than 1958) shows a church on the south side of the Leigh Road, at circa SS 684 142. So far unidentified, lack of a large scale map showing it prevents identification of the plot of land. "Travelling" along Leigh Road on Streetview doesn't yield any likely candidates for a surviving building. My appreciation to David Saunders for the following - the church in question was Chulmleigh Gospel Hall (Open Brethren). Dating from the 1920's, it was red brick with white brick detailing, gable end facing the road, closed and demolished in the 1990's, and replaced by the bungalow seen by Streetview in 2009. SS 6855 1433. He also advises that they had previously met in Rock Hill School. Now converted to residential use, this is on The Square, at SS 6870 1419. An old photo of it can be seen here, and in a Streetview from 2009. Grade II listed. David has also advised of a Roman Catholic Church on South Molton Street, somewhere near Three Crossways, and which was still active in the 1970's. This may have been the place of worship shown on a 1" map of 1960, at SS 6872 1465. It will have stood roughly where the car is in this 2010 Streetview.

The cemetery to the south of the village used to have a Mortuary Chapel, shown on older O.S. maps at SD 7420 6845. Demolished, its site was seen by Streetview in 2009. I think the low wall with the 90 degree bend in it formed part of the chapel's northern and eastern walls. Clapham railway station stands over a mile south-west of the village, and near the station is Wenning Bank, a former Sandemanian Chapel. Its grade II listing says the chapel was on the upper floor, presumably lit by the large round-headed window. SD 7337 6778.

On a map of 1898 it's labelled as Methodist Chapel (Free United). SJ 6784 6513. © Sandy Calder. The chapel is now evidently in residential use - 2023 Streetview.

The 1953 1:25000 O.S. map shows a church close to the junction of Church Lane and Church Street, at SK 4944 7547.

Clutton, Somerset, St. Augustine of Hippo on Marsh Lane. Originally of the late C12 (with a tower of the C15) the church has been extensively re-built over the ensuing centuries. This is one of a very small number of churches with a ha-ha to keep livestock out of the churchyard. ST 6227 5893. © Carole Sage (2016). Two further views - 1, 2. Grade II* listed. The former Wesleyan Methodist Chapel on Upper Bristol Road dates from 1810, and has been converted to residential use, seemingly since 2002, when it is still shown as a place of worship on the O.S. map of that vintage. ST 619 591. The former Congregational Chapel (later U.R.C.) on Station Road is of the late C19, and had closed during the 1980's or 1990's. This is also now residential. ST 6236 5923.

Howard Richter has been investigating this, and has been able to refine the placement of the site of the chapel on modern maps, and identifies the property now called Elmwood as its probable site. It can be seen on a 2019 Streetview here. Clutton also had a Primitive Methodist Chapel, as noticed in a gazetteer of 1868, but where this was, and whether is still survives is, at present, uncertain. All © Carole Sage (2016). Howard Richter speculates that the unplaced Primitive Methodist Chapel may have been the same building later occupied as Zion.
