Needham Street, of 1857. When the Wright Street Chapel was opened, the old
Needham Street building was used as a Sunday School, and is so marked on old
maps, at SK 4166 4947. It was demolished in the 1960's after being in secular

"Coleridge" printed on it, and it seems that this was the old spelling for what

identification, and confirmation that they were indeed of the same church. There

Colliers Wood, Greater London, Christ Church (1874), on Christchurch Road. This old postcard, from Steve Bulman's Collection, was of
long-standing in the "Unknown" section. A church with an unusual spire - and the sender has written this - "I
daresay you recognize the old church, although they have omitted to print the
name....". Although originally identified as St. Augustine in Dudley, it certainly
wasn't
that, since a photo has now been sent in, and it can be seen on the
Dudley page.

At Chapel End, less than half a mile to the S.W. of the church, is a former
Primitive Methodist Chapel. It hasn't been seen by

Grade I listed. The Methodist Church stands on
Back Lane at SK 9316 2403. The 1903-5 6" O.S. map labels it as "W Meth. Chap.",
so presumably it was Wesleyan. It can be seen on a 2009 Streetview
here. Viewed
here, what is presumably the
original chapel can be seen, built from stone rather than brick. The same
map shows another Chapel at SK 9303 2394, which the 25" version labels as "Meth.
Chap. (United Free)". The
Genuki entry supplies dates of 1855-1948. A poor and distant view can be
found on a 2016 Streetview here.
For what seems to be quite an impressive building, it's odd that I haven't been
able to find any photos on-line. Another thing marked on these maps is the site
of a Priory. The

(dated

has a date-stone for 1896. There was evidently an earlier
Primitive Methodist Chapel on the same site, shown on a map of 1884. The
former Wesleyan (at left) and the house built on the site of the Catholic Chapel
were seen by Streetview in

site now lies beneath a widened road, next to the white building seen here in a

Link dates it to 1853/4 to 1934 - it also says that it was preceded by an
earlier chapel of 1825 on the same site. The village also has a former
Wesleyan Methodist Chapel on Dogdyke Road, seen
here by Streetview in 2010.
It's dated

earlier small P.M. chapel, built in 1832. Mentioned

house built on the site. The National Archives hold records for 1940-1969. A

regarding the date of the removal of the spire - but we can say with some
confidence that it postdates the 1" O.S. map edition of 1957, which indicates a
spire at that time. It possibly survived until 1980, but it's odd that the
grade I listing of the early 1960's makes no mention of it. From Reg Dosell's Collection.

of three other churches. There is a Methodist Church (originally Wesleyan) at SP
9528 4188 on High Street, and it pre-dates a map of 1882-3. It can be seen on
Streetview
here.
Link. A Baptist Church stands on Bedford Road at SP 9612 4257. This also
pre-dates the 1882-3 map, where it is indicated as a Baptist Chapel (General),
but the congregation is considerably older than this. It can be seen
here. Link. Shown on the same
map is a Particular Baptist Chapel at SP 954 420. It certainly existed by 1840,
and was still in use in 1901. A building with the same footprint as the chapel
on the map can be seen
here (the greenish building), but it's not at present clear if this is the
same building, or a more recent building on the same site.

chapel of 1827 on Halwyn Hill. This is marked as a Wesleyan Chapel on the 25"
O.S. map of 1907, and can be seen on a
Streetview from 2019. It's
curious that there should have been two Wesleyan Chapel so close (200 meters) to
each other, but perhaps it's an error on the part of the Ordnance Survey, as the
source says it was used as a Sunday School after the newer chapel opened (i.e.
1872). SW 7913 6037.

had a predecessor, as Wesleyan documents are
referenced in the National Archives for the years 1848-1971. A map of 1891
indicates a Meth. Chap. (Wes.) on Key Lane. It
doesn't show which building the label is intended for, but a good candidate
survives, seen by Streetview

A place of worship is shown on a mid-20th century O.S. map on Santingley Road,
New Crofton, at SE 3845 1748. It's identified
here as a former
Catholic Church, with dates 1920's-2008. Now in
secular use, it was photographed by
David Regan in 2022. The same
map shows another place of worship a little further
east on
Spring Lane at SE 3872 1745. Not shown on earlier available maps, it's been
demolished, and the house built on the site was seen by
Streetview in 2009. It was
possibly the mission church mentioned
here.

Grade II listed. Old maps show two chapels in the village, both to the
south. Closer to the village was the Wesleyan Methodist
at TF 5068 7337. This seems to have been demolished, though I haven't been able
to see the exact site as the Streetview van hasn't passed it. Other old maps
suggest it went out of use in the late 1950's or the 1960's. The
Primitive Methodist stands at TF 5047 7323. Seen
here by Streetview in 2009, it is evidently now used as an extension to a house.
Zooming in on the date-stone above the door confirms the identification. Its My
Primitive Methodists
entry dates it to 1839. It also mentions a second
chapel just two doors away though there is possibly some confusion about
its denomination - United or Primitive. In any event, it can be seen on
Streetview.

dates St. John to "about 1925", and says it was successor to an earlier church
"on the opposite side of the road. This seems to be incorrect as a map of 1902

church. The former St. Winefride

Chapel - can you name it? SN 4113 2485. © Mike Berrell (2009). Janet Gimber has
advised that this was called (a little unimaginatively) Capel Cwm-dwyfran, and Calvinistic Methodist since it was built in the late 18th century.
One old map labels it "Presb".
Coflein dates it to 1861, on
the site of a predecessor of 1792.

entry. An otherwise unidentified Capel
is shown on old O.S. maps a short was to the N.E. of Calfaria, at SS 8630 8986.
It pre-dates a map of 1900 but is absent on one
of 1884. Its Coflein entry
identifies it as Noddfa Welsh Independent Chapel. A house called Ty Noddfa
stands on the site, and it was seen by
Streetview in 2022. I
haven't been able to find a photo.
Cwmfelinfach, Caerphilly,
the former Bethany Calvinistic Methodist Chapel (1912) on Commercial
Road. ST 1849 9184. © Gerard Charmley (2011). The 1951 1" O.S. map shows a
place of worship on an apparently un-named
narrow road at ST 1863 9170. It survived long enough to allow the first
Streetview to see it in
2009, and enough of the date-stone can be seen to read that it was called Noddfa,
and possibly from 1911. The next
Streetview visit was in 2021, by which time it had been demolished. Its
Coflein
entry (written in 2011) says that
it "appears to be the Sunday School built at the
rear of a now-demolished chapel". This would imply that the chapel stood on the
grassy area seen in 2009.
Buildings were being built on the site in
2021.

Howard Richter has advised that it has indeed now closed, but after Mike took
his photo. Its dates are - built 1910-12, closed 2013. As can be seen on the
2010 Streetview, the windows
had been covered with perspex or similar after Mike's visit. SN 7044 1082.

The date-stone visible in the photo has since been painted over or removed (2021

and an Independent Chapel close to each at the
eastern end of the village, the former at SJ 0285 4105, the latter at SJ 0586
4103. Neither is marked as a place of worship on a map of 1901, and I suspect
that their placement too far east is a rare mistake on the part of the Ordnance
Survey, marking Bethania and Carmel on the wrong road.
