manse. The church was built in 1864, enalrged in the 1890's, and seems to have
closed between 1936 (for when the National Archives of Scotland have minutes),
and the later 1950's, as the O.S. map for 1957-8 doesn't show it. The 1946
edition shows it as a U.F. church, though it may have been closed by then. It
had been preceded by a wooden church, known as the "Spale Kirk", built in 1846,
which shows on the 1858 O.S. map as Free Church. It was presumably
demolished at some point subsequent to the building of the Free Church of 1864.
It stood at circa NS 3589 1459. The congregation didn't have a permanent home

Link. A "History Man" article Tracing the lost chapels of Cumbria, in
the Cumberland News of 20 March 2020 discusses a medieval chapel, all trace of
which has been lost. It was St. Wynemius, mentioned in a document of 1343, and
is supposed to have been located in a field called Chapel Flat. If you know
where Chapel Flat is, I'd be pleased to hear from you.

A map of 1868 shows Old Methodist Chapel (Wesleyan)
on a courtyard behind the buildings fronting onto the main road through the
village. As so often with the earliest O.S. maps, it's unclear exactly which
building the label is meant to apply to. Its entry
here dates it to 1840, closed "by 1873". It also has a photo of a possible
house on its site, but it isn't visible on Streetview. Its grid ref. will be

re-build in 1873, and demolition "by 1953".
Tabernacl Independent Chapel stood at SN 9262 2764. Its

this 2011 Streetview can be
better seen

Grade II* listed. The village had 2 chapels, just yards apart on High
Street, Wesleyan and Primitive Methodist, both demolished. The earlier of the
two was the Wesleyan, of 1821, which stood at
TF 7697 3684. Its site was seen by
Streetview in 2009. The P.M.
stood at
TF 7698 3684, and its site
also seen in 2009. There are several on-line references to the last Methodist
Chapel closing in 2009. This is erroneous, as the houses on both sites are to be
seen on Streetview in 2008, and the lichens on the roof of the house on the site
of the P.M. chapel testify to its having been built considerably before 2008.
Docking's
Wikipedia article mentions a Wesleyan Reform Preaching House west of
the pond by the playing fields. I take this to be the pond centred on TF 7679
3704. No available map shows a chapel here, as far back as one published in
1886, but if it wasn't classified as a church that shouldn't be surprising. Can
you say exactly where it stood?

Older maps show two chapels in the village. A Primitive
Methodist Chapel shows at the junction of Main Road and Chapel Lane.
Streetview saw it in 2011,
and it's dated
here to 1854-1988. TF 2361 8290. The other, only labelled as Chapel
or Chap. on different maps, shows on Hollengs Lane at TF 2346 8297. The
property on the site today can be seen in a
Streetview from 2009. This
is probably the Wesleyan Methodist Chapel of
1805-1936 mentioned on the village
Genuki page
as being on Old School Lane, which is the next street to the north. It's not
obvious whether anything of the chapel survives. The aforementioned Genuki page
also mentions a United Free Methodist Chapel of
1868-1901 on Mill Road at TF 2347 8308. It may survive as the house furthest
from the camera here in a
Streetview from 2011. Genuki also mentions a Baptist
Chapel on Old School Lane at TF 2347 8298. This is so close to the grid
reference given for the Wesleyan Chapel that they may be the same building.

it as Baptist Chapel (General). This

this is the same building is not known at present. Although the 1955 OS map

John Bowdler was trying to discover the location of the same font - clearly labelled as "The
Old Celtic Font, Dryburgh Abbey", but John has searched for modern photos
showing the font in situ, without success. So has the font been moved somewhere
else? It does appear to have been moved, though it remains on the site - Jay
Priest has found a photo of the font (labelled as basin) on this
website, where there are many other photos of the Abbey. It appears to be no
longer on the base in John's photo (though it seems unlikely that that
base was the original).

Although clearly labelled Dufton Church and Pike, this drawing is a bit
puzzling. It's clearly a different building to today's church, but the only
recorded re-build was in 1784 - the 1853 restoration was internal only. Was this
perhaps an imaginative re-creation of how the church might have looked before
the 1784 re-build? And if it is, did he have any sources on which to base his
drawing?

in the "Unknown" section, Gerry Porter wanted this church in south-west England
identified. Taken in 1998, it has distinctive large pinnacles, and looked to me
to be in the Cornish tradition. Janet Gimber identified it, and to salve my
pride, explained that it was almost on the border with Cornwall! SX 3759

Grade I listed. Several headstones and a tomb are also listed
here. Marked on O.S. maps about half a mile to the S.E. is a
Chapel (Site of) at SX 3817 7879. It's probably the
chapel mentioned
here,
quoting from a directory of 1850 - "In Chapel Field are the remains of a chantry
chapel, converted into a cow-house". If this identification is correct, then it
must have been demolished fairly soon afterwards, as the earliest available map,
of 1883, marks it as a site. Its site hasn't
been seen by Streetview.

As Church of Scotland it had at least three predecessors. Its immediate
predecessor was this building at NC 4023
6781, now in residential use. It was apparently built circa 1814 when the
medieval church was abandoned. The date when it went out of use as a church is
unclear, but map evidence implies it was between 1905 and 1962. © Martin Richter

church (Balnakeil) stand at NC 39109 68649. This
