Grade I listed. The 1902 6" O.S. map of 1902 marks a Chapel at TL 1858 7600.
This was Wesleyan, as can be seen in a
2016 Streetview. I can find
no useful information about the chapel on the internet, except to say that old
maps show that it was built before 1888, and it seems to have still been active
into the 1970's. It now appears to be in residential use.

Older O.S. maps show a Wesleyan Methodist Chapel on
Church Street at TL 1342 9585. The National Archives
references
documents pertaining to the chapel for the years 1884-1951. The bungalow on the
site was seen by Streetview
in 2022 - it's called Old Chapel 1826, so is presumably the converted
chapel, though there's nothing obvious to confirm this. However a photo of the
chapel in circa 1906 can be seen
here, and
shows what appears to be the same roof.

here, and its site can be seen on a

1828. TF 0798 0514. © David Regan (2019). According to this
Estate
Agent's notice, planning permission for conversion was granted in 2016. A
map of 1886 shows the older chapel, which stands or stood on Church Lane, south
of the church. Exactly which building is being labelled is unclear, and
Streetview doesn't give a view, so I can't say if it survives. It stood at circa TF 079 049.

The Methodist Church (2022
Streetview) is on Church Street. It was originally Wesleyan, dated on the
church website to 1876. TL
1944 6769. Union Baptist Chapel is marked on old
O.S. maps off High Street at TL 1920 6791. Like other Union Chapels, it's likely
to have been Baptist and Congregational. I think it has survived, and what I
think is the building was seen by
Streetview in 2009. It
pre-dates a map of 1887, and was still active into the 1950's at least.

The same map also shows Wesleyan and
Primitive Methodist Chapels. The former is set back
from The Causeway at TL 5878 6703, it was seen by
Streetview in 2011, and is
dated in its
grade II listing to 1835, with a later extension in 1914. The former
P.M. (2011 Streetview) is on
North Street at TL 5871 6745. A Baptist Chapel also
stands on North Street at TL 5877 6776. Its
grade II listing dates it to "after 1842".

north along the same road is the former
St. Andrew (2011

gone church in the area. Large scale O.S. maps mark
Parsonage Farm Remains of Priory of St. John, at the west end of
Parsonage Lane, at circa TL 585 666. I don't know whether any old remains are
still identified as being from the priory, but the farm's

Baptist Chapel is shown on old maps on West Park

Streetview in 2022. Yet
another was Salem Baptist Chapel, which stood off
Huntingdon Road at TL 3903 8581. Salem Court is now on the site. The chapel
stood where the car park is
now (2022 Streetview). The cemetery on New Road had two
mortuary chapels. Aerial views show that neither has survived, and the
sites aren't visible on Streetview. The nonconformist chapel stood at TL 3997

here (the photo at right - that at left is the lodge by the cemetery
entrance, also now gone). 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. On Ash Grove there's

Chapel, seen here in a
Streetview of 2011. It was evidently Wesleyan, as it has a very brief
entry on the My Wesleyan Methodists website. This
source says it was closed
in 2007, but that Methodist services continued to be held in the village hall,
which is on Hardman Road, seen
here on Streetview in 2008. The VCH dates what is likely to be this chapel
to 1880, and mentions an earlier Wesleyan Chapel of circa 1825 on Stocker's
Lane. Stocker's Lane is now called Station Road (source),
so perhaps it preceded the present building on the same site.

The war memorial in the churchyard is listed as
grade II. Older O.S. maps show a Wesleyan Methodist
Chapel about 150 yards east of the church, at TL 2183 7455. It pre-dates
the earliest available map of 1902 and doesn't seem to have survived in active
use into the second half of the last century. It stood on the site of, or in
front of, the single storey building (garage?) with the blue door, seen in this
Streetview of 2022. I've not
been able to find anything useful about it on-line.

This was presumably successor to the
Baptist Chapel, shown on older maps on Millyard,
off The Green at TL 4630 7550. It pre-dates a map of 1887-8, labelled as
Baptist Chapel (General), and the latest map to show it is from 1958-9. An
edition from 1974-6 has it as Hall. Since demolished, it stood in the car
park seen here in a Streetview
from 2014. The village has a Methodist Church on
High Street, at TL 4635 7542. Old maps label it as Wesleyan. Its
Genuki entry only
dates it to a restoration of 1891, but it pre-dates a map of 1887-8.

Link, and the history
here,
which dates it to the early years of the 20th century, successor to an earlier
chapel of 1858 "facing the village green". A building at the north-west corner

here by Streetview in 2008.

was probably Methodist. The cemetery off Wood Lane has a

It was oblong, short side to the road, and it stood where the parking
areas are in front of the houses. A photo is available
here, where it's identified as St. Peter's Mission Church, and its
dated to 1893-1919. A Primitive Methodist Chapel
used to stand on School Lane, off Middle Watch, at TL 3623 6856. This
source says it was originally Unitarian or Baptist, bought by the
P.M.'s in 1884, and closed in 1932. (The village
Wikipedia entry
says Unitarian, and dates it to 1831). It also says it was converted
into a bungalow, but unless it's very well disguised, it looks as if
that too has gone.

Grade I listed. Older O.S. maps show a Wesleyan
Methodist Chapel on High Street. The 2009 Streetview offers the best view
of it, but it's hampered by vegetation. This
source dates it to 1893-1982, whereafter it was converted to residential
use. TL 2585 8261. The same source mentions its predecessor of 1840 as having
stood opposite what is now the village hall. In a
2023 Streetview the hall is
on the left - the chapel will have stood somewhere on the right. Not shown on
any available maps, its grid reference will be circa TL 2575 8257. The cemetery
to the south of the village has a Mortuary Chapel.
None of the available Streetviews is very satisfactory, but
here's one from 2009. TL
2572 8226. The source mentioned earlier says that there was at one time a
Primitive Methodist Chapel "opposite Townsend
Farm", and dates it to circa 1839. No available maps show it, so it must have
gone out of use in the 19th century. Streetview reveals no likely surviving
candidates.

O.S. maps also mark a "Salvation Army Fort" off Chapel Street, at TL

seen in a 2021
Streetview. The
Baptist Church (2021 Streetview) stands on Chapel Street at TL 4963

history page
dates it to 1863. An unidentified place of worship
shows on the 1" O.S. map of 1955 at TL 4958 6529, at the north end of
Chapel Street. The small scale makes it difficult to identify the site
accurately, but it will have been somewhere within this
2021 Streetview. The
Primitive Methodists also had a chapel
here, on Back Lane (now Burgess Road). Pre-dating a map of 1887, it had
closed before the mid-20th century. The bungalow on the site can be seen
here (2014

Woodditton (sometimes Wood
Ditton), St. Mary. The tower looks incomplete - did it have a spire at
one time, later removed, or was one planned and never built?

Grade I listed. The Methodist Church
on Main Street, at TL 1830 9208. It pre-dates a map of 1888-1913. I've haven't
discovered its original flavour of Methodism.

Link. The cemetery on Waterslade Road has a Mortuary
Chapel, seen here in
a Streetview from 2010. Three other chapels are shown on older O.S. maps. Two
stood almost opposite each other on Chapel Lane. Jireh
Baptist (demolished) was at TL 1814 9207, and a former
Wesleyan Methodist survives at TL 1816 9209. And on Main Street, a
Congregational Chapel stood at TL 1864 9211. Recent
Streetviews of these - Jireh
(old photo
here, where it's dated to 1860, demolished 1960's),
Wesleyan (note the
date-stone for 1844), and
Congregational. The Congregational is now St. B's Hall; its
website says it was
originally Independent (1804), and later Presbyterian, Unitarian,
Congregational, United Reform and Catholic!
