Abbeytown, St. Mary. The parish church is the remaining fragment (the nave) of Holme Cultram Abbey (Cistercian). It was severely damaged by a fire on 9 June 2006. NY 1772 5082. © Steve Bulman. Link. Grade I listed. The Methodist Church was originally Wesleyan. NY 1726 5076. © Steve Bulman. Link. The church was offered for sale in late 2018 or early 2019, and an Estate Agents notice (no longer available), said it was built in 1869, although another source says 1858. The 1937-61 1" O.S. map marks the site of St. Christian's Chapel on the south bank of the River Waver, at NY 1719 5174. It would have stood somewhere near the distant hedge-line as seen in this 2011 Streetview. Link. Rob Kinnon-Brettle advises that there is known to have been a Salvation Army presence in the village in 1890, location unknown.
Aiketgate. The Civil Parish of Hesket in the Forest - An Illustrated Miscellany, published to celebrate the Millennium, mentions a Christian Brethren Gospel Hall, an ex-army hut transferred from Gretna after WWI, and still active at the time of publication. No available maps show it, I haven't been able to find an on-line mention of it, and "travelling" on the local roads on Streetview doesn't show any likely candidates for it. Do you know where it is or was?

Askam-in-Furness, the former Church of Christ Meeting House on Crossley Street. Kevin Price advises that it closed in 1956, and subsequently became St. Anthony (R.C.), which closed in 2009, and was then converted into a house. It has a date-stone for 1907. SD 2136 7772. The Methodist Church is on Duddon Road. The church website dates it to 1870, although the building has a date-stone for 1909 - this perhaps records the addition of the projecting entrance. SD 2133 7779. The Community Centre on Duke Street is a former United Methodist Chapel of 1878. Another view. SD 2132 7727. The village also has a former Primitive Methodist Chapel called Zion, on Beach Street, at SD 2119 7749. It has been converted to residential use. Its My Primitive Methodists entry dates it to 1870-1985. All © Alan Marsden (2021). Kevin Price also advises of a Gospel Hall which stood on Duke Street, closing circa 2005 and subsequently demolished. I've been unable to locate it's position. Rob Kinnon-Brettle advises that there is known to have been a Salvation Army presence in the village at one time, location unknown.
Askham, St. Peter, of 1832, on the site of an earlier church. NY 5181 2386. © Philip Kapp. Another view, the date-stone, four interior view - 1, 2, 3, 4, and the font, all © Chris Stafford (2013). An old drawing made by Thomas Bland in the 1850's is available here, reproduced by kind permission of Carlisle Library. It's from the searchable Cumbria Image Bank, which can be accessed here. Also available is a drawing of the preceding medieval church, which according to this source, was St. Kentigern. Assuming it's a realistic drawing, and that it was still standing when Bland drew the then new church, then it must have been at a slightly different location, though not too far away as it stands in the graveyard. Grade II* listed. Several monuments in the churchyard are listed separately - they can be found here.

Grade II* listed. St. John (1878) stands near Bassenthwaite village. NY 2290 3159. © Les Strong. Another view, © Alan Blacklock. Link. The 1900 25" O.S. map shows a Sunday School Formerly Church a short distance west of St. John's. Although it isn't clear which building it is referring to, it must surely be this one seen on the 2009 Streetview. This would make its grid reference NY 2278 3164. Its grade II listing dates it to 1805, replacing an earlier chapel. Bassenthwaite Methodist Church stands at NY 2295 3216. The 25" map marks it as Wesleyan, and it can be seen on 2021 Streetview here. This source says that it was originally Primitive Methodist, of 1868, and sold to the Wesleyans in 1882. Link. Less than half a mile S.E. of St. Bega stands Mirehouse. At one time it had a chapel on the first floor of a small extension at the rear of the building. Demolished, I haven't been able to find a photo or illustration of it. NY 2320 2837.

Beckfoot (south of Silloth), the former Friends Meeting House, now converted to residential use. An information board in the adjacent burial ground dates the first building on the site to "probably after 1689", with a re-build in 1745. It was closed in 1940, though was later used by a Methodist congregation until 1968, conversion following thereafter. NY 0929 4959. © Steve Bulman (2018).

Grade I listed. The 1898 25" O.S. map labels a building as Temple Bank On Site of St. John's Chapel. I think it can be seen in the background here, just glimpsed on the 2011 Streetview. SD 4969 7949. The only mention of it on-line I can find is in my transcription of an old directory - see here, but it doesn't offer anything of much help.
Beldy (near Garrigill), the former Wesleyan Methodist Chapel, as seen by Streetview in 2016. It says here that it has a date-stone for 1859. NY 7426 4205.
Bewcastle, St. Cuthbert. © Steve Bulman. NY 5654 7456. Link. Grade II* listed. The Knowe U.R.C. stands at quite a distance from Bewcastle, nearly 3 miles to the north-west, serving the local farms. Three interior views - 1, 2, 3. Originally Presbyterian, it's dated here to 1901, successor to an earlier chapel of 1790. NY 5332 7797. All © Alan Marsden (2021).
Bigrigg, St. John. NX 9978 1382. © Malcolm Minshaw. Link. The 1899 25" O.S. map marks a Meth. Chap. (Free Un.) on Chapel Street, at NY 0004 1334. It hasn't survived, and its site (roughly half way along the row of bungalows) can be seen on a 2009 Streetview. Link.
Birks. Two further views - 1, 2. This used to be a famous Sandemanian/Inghamite Chapel (there are transcribed records for 1754-1807). Subsequently Independent, it continued in use until 1836, but was described as "ruinous" in an 1851 directory. The recorded dates for the two sects overlap, so they may have shared the building, or the Independents may have had another building or room nearby, and later moved into the former Sandemanian chapel. Kevin Price, who has visited the building, says it is now used as a barn, and looking through a crack in the door, saw evidence of where the pulpit once was. He also advises that the font was eventually transferred to Kendal Inghamite Chapel in 1938. This short history composed from the researches of Howard Richter and Kevin Price. NY 719 151.

Blagill, the site (the dirt track by the roadside) of the demolished Primitive Methodist Chapel, as seen by Streetview in 2021. It's dated here to 1862, and had gone out of use by the mid-20th century. NY 7393 4736.
Blawith, the former St. John the Baptist, which was closed in 1988. It was subsequently transferred to the Churches Conservation Trust, who later decided to sell it for residential conversion (link). Another view. SD 2887 8834. Both © Kevin Price (2020). The substantial remains of the predecessor church of the same dedication stands a little way to the south, at SD 2882 8823. With walls still standing several metres high, the grade II listing dates it to the 16th century, with a re-build in 1749. It can just be seen in a 2016 Streetview.
Bleatarn, Chapel of Ease to Warcop parish church. NY 7278 1375. Three further views - 1, 2, 3, all © Tim Flitcroft (2011). Link. Marked on some OS maps at NY 7223 1323 is a "Place of Worship", though nothing is visible except this inscribed stone which declares "Bleatarn Chapel". By studying old maps, Howard Richter suspected that it was built after 1899, but certainly before 1915, when it is shown as Wesleyan Methodist; an article Howard has found implies 1903 (link). A local informant advised that this was a "tin tabernacle", and that it closed in the late 1980's. Both © Martin Richter (2011).
Blencarn, the former Wesleyan Methodist Chapel (1840 - date-stone), now converted to residential use. Note the carved heads in the boundary wall - a close-up of one. Isobel White (who lives in this cottage) has been in touch to say that this head, and its companion, were carved by her father, clearly a skilled mason. The date of closure is currently uncertain, but seems to be post-1962/3, when it appears as a "+" on the OS map of that vintage. Two additional views - 1, 2. NY 6384 3115. All © Howard Richter (2014).
Blennerhassett, the former Congregational Chapel at NY 1800 4157, as seen on a 2009 Streetview. It's shown as Congregational on the 25" O.S. map of 1900. The same map also shows a Primitive Methodist Chapel at NY 1775 4145. A tin tabernacle survives on the same plot of land, as seen here on a 2010 Streetview. Whether this is the original P.M. Chapel, or a later replacement, is not known at the moment. Kevin Price has advised that this is currently Blennerhassett Evangelical Mission.
Blindcrake, the former Primitive Methodist Chapel. It has a date-stone for 1894. NY 1476 3461. © Kevin Price (2020). Link. The immediately adjacent building (now a house and the village hall) is marked on the 1900 25" O.S. map as a Mission Room. It can be seen here on a 2009 Streetview. NY 1476 3460.

Bolton Low Houses, former chapel, now a private residence. Janet Gimber advises that this was Wesleyan Methodist. It's dated here to 1881, possibly incorporating fabric from a known predecessor of 1817, shown to have been on the same site by a map of 1868. NY 2375 4434. © Philip Kapp. The 1901 6" O.S. map has a label for a Mission Room at Brough Hill, a short way west of Bolton Low Houses. Not indicating precisely which building is meant, Streetview reveals that the building was still standing in 2009. We can then determine the grid reference as NY 2351 4417. A short distance south of the village is the site of a Friends' Meeting House, NY 2386 4416. The rectangular boundary wall can be seen here on a 2009 Streetview - the building itself stood at the rear left corner. A photo of a date-stone of 1700 for the burial ground can be seen here. This source dates the meeting house to 1702, with closure in 1874 and demolition in 1904. A Primitive Methodist "preaching place" is listed here, but it's location is unknown.

Bootle.
Borrowdale, St. Andrew, as seen by Streetview in 2016. Older maps label it as Holy Trinity. NY 2580 1399. Link. The About Us tab dates it to a re-build in 1762 of a chapel of ease of 1687, replacing a predecessor (location not mentioned) recorded in 1505. A transcription of a newspaper (the Carlisle Patriot, 17 April 1824) has the following - Last week, while the workmen were employed in pulling down the old chapel in Borrowdale, they discovered a freestone with 1125 cut upon it in very legible characters, which, no doubt, indicate the year the building was erected. The same stone also contains an inscription, but in consequence of several of the letters being effaced it has not yet been deciphered. I've not been able to find mention of this anywhere else, so don't know where it was - can you advise?
Bothel, an old Wesleyan Methodist chapel (1840), in the process of demolition. NY 1818 3896. © Philip Kapp. Link. The 25" map of 1900 also shows a Primitive Methodist Chapel at NY 1822 3884. Not noticed by the My Primitive Methodist website, and passed by the Streetview van, this source provides a date of 1836, and the fact that it has been demolished. It stood on the right side of the lane, as seen here by Streetview in 2017.

An old photo of it can be seen here, where it's dated to 1861. The building on the site today (2021 Streetview) is either a replacement, or the chapel has been altered beyond all recognition. A map of 1867 shows a Wesleyan Methodist Chapel on Church Road, at NY 0534 3348. Presumably the predecessor of the present Methodist Church, it has long been demolished, and other buildings built on its site. One of these is labelled as Mission Room on a map of 1900, and is the blue painted building in a Streetview from 2021; it, and the building beyond it, stand on the site of the Wesleyan Chapel.

Cargo, Chapel Cottage at Chapelhouse, as seen by the Streetview van in 2021. 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 (which includes a photo) 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.

Great Clifton. A Wesleyan Methodist Church shows on the 25" map of 1899, standing at NY 0409 2954. If any fabric of the building survives, it is unidentifiable from Streetview - it must have stood on or near what is now the driveway in this view from 2011, but stood closer to the road, perhaps even encroaching on today's pavement. Its My Wesleyan Methodists entry dates it to 1845. At some point it was replaced by a new chapel nearby, at NY 0400 2958. Certainly it was in use in the 1980's. It can be seen in a 2009 Streetview here, and there are also photos (including the interior) here. A 2019 news item shows that it was still active at that time.

I suspect, from looking at old maps, that it was a pre-existing building, adopted by the congregation between 1895 and 1900, and vacated by 1925.

The Memorial Hall stands on the site of a small Independent (Congregational) Chapel, built before 1871, when it appears on a map of that year. Disused on the map of 1898, and Parish Room in 1913, the chapel stood further back from the road than the current building line. Enlargement, perhaps involving demolition, occurred in the 1920's, but it is interesting to speculate whether the chapel survived all this, and still stands, surrounded by the newer building works, and seen here, with the finials on the ends of the ridge-line.

Knock, the former Wesleyan Methodist Chapel, now converted to residential use. The date-stone is slightly unclear, but certainly 187?, perhaps 1876.

There is evidently a building on the site, but there's so much vegetation on the 2009 Streeview view that it's not possible to say if it is the Friends' building, or a more recent one.

Nentsberry (or Nentsbury), to the north-west of Nenthead, the former Wesleyan Methodist Chapel, as seen by the Streetview camera in 2021. It's dated here to 1825. NY 7633 4525. There was at one time also a Primitive Methodist Chapel, now demolished. It stood at NY 7650 4503, and pre-dates a map of 1899. Its site is largely hidden by trees, but a 2009 Streetview just shows the gable-end of a building built immediately beside it - the chapel was closer to the road, behind the conifers.

New Cowper, the site of the demolished Congregational Chapel (in the far left corner of the field). According to the Wikipedia entry for New Cowper, the chapel was built "between 1883 and 1906" and demolished in the 1970's. Map evidence shows that it was built before 1900, as a map of that vintage shows it as "Congregational Chapel". I've been unable to find a photo of it on-line.

Stainton with Adgarley, the former Mission Room of 1904 - now in residential use. SD 2510 7257. © Martin Richter (2011). The former Congregational Church (1902-51). Kevin Price advises that it stands on the site of a Mission Church of 1873. SD 2497 7254. © Alan Marsden (2022). About half a mile to the north-east, O.S. maps mark Bolton Chapel, at Bolton Farm, SD 2594 7292. It gets a very brief mention here, where it's said to have been a chantry chapel. O.S. maps aren't precise about indicating which building the label is intended for, but I think it's the barn with lean-to, seen in a Streetview from 2009. Can you confirm if this is correct?

It's not clear which of two possible buildings is meant, but Genuki has an entry for a Bible Christian Chapel which removes the ambiguity. It also provides dates of 1888 to "before 1913". It stood on an apparently un-named minor road running parallel with, and between, Goad Road and Trinkeld Road (now re-named as Park Road) at SD 2737 7733. Streetview hasn't been along this road, but has been along Park Road, and seen this garage in 2009 - the chapel stood at what is now the back of the garage. Although now in a suburb of Ulverston, Swarthmoor Society of Friends' Meeting House (on Meeting House Lane) was built in a rural situation over half a mile E.S.E. of Swarthmoor. Not well seen on Streetview, its Genuki entry includes a photo. Link.
Swindale, the demolished church. The nearer third of the building was a school. This source dates it to "before 1703", and seems to have gone out use between 1920 and 1956, based on map evidence.

The former Methodist Chapel stands about half a mile S.S.E. of the village (its location is sometimes referred to as Threlkeld Quarry), and is now called Chapel House. From old maps, Martin has determined dates - built between 1900 and 1924 (when it was Wesleyan), disused by 1977.
