Llanbedrog, Gwynedd, St. Pedrog. An interior view, and a rather lovely window. SH 3295 3155. All © Tim Hollinghurst (2019). Coflein entry. Grade II* listed. Howard Richter advises of three chapels nearby - the first is the Calvinistic Methodist Capel Peniel at SH 3217 3190. It can be seen on a 2016 Streetview here. The Coflein entry tells us that it was perhaps originally built in 1791, and re-built in 1866. Grade II listed. The second is the Wesleyan Methodist Rehoboth at SH 3221 3189. The Coflein entry gives dates of 1816, with re-builds or modifications in 1833, 1839 and 1871. Not visited by Streetview, other sources confirm that the building is still extant. Seion Independent Chapel stands at SH 3237 3195, and was seen by Streetview in 2009 and 2016, between which dates the building had been re-painted. The Coflein entry gives a building date of 1883.

It has a Coflein entry. © Peter Morgan (2012). Howard has also advised of some additional chapels - Capel Seion (Wesleyan) is located at SJ 0353 3709, and is a 1884 re-build of a chapel originally built in 1804. It has been converted to residential use. A 2016 Streetview is available here. An 1888 map shows a "Methodist Chapel (Calvinistic)" at SJ 0336 3695. This is possibly Capel Salem noted by Coflein here. If this identification is correct, then it was built in 1822, and re-built in 1880. Streetview shows a building at this site here, and here, the latter showing a pair of old gate piers. This is all rather tentative, so if you can confirm any of this, please let me know.

One stood fairly close to the P.M. chapel at NU 0169 3969. Demolished, it stood somewhere behind the building with the French doors, as seen here by Streetview in 2010. The other survives, on Cheviot View, at NU 0144 3951, and was seen by Streetview in 2009. This was Presbyterian Church of Scotland, dated in its grade II listing to 1821. This source details a split from that congregation in 1848 to form an English Presbyterian church - presumably the one which has been demolished. Its closure is dated to 1935.

The village also had a Free United Methodist Chapel on Kiln Hill, at TF 1998 8912. Genuki provides dates of 1857-1933.

It stood somewhere along the tree line in this Streetview from 2011. A large scale map of 1900 shows a Baptist Chapel (Ruin).

The church, which was of wooden construction, was put up in 1902. NZ 360 414. © Martin Richter (2019). Photos of the church are available here and here. According to the Harrison & Harrison (Organ Builders) website, the organ was transferred to St. Aidan at Acomb, York, implying that the church had closed prior to the fire which destroyed it. A Primitive Methodist Chapel stood on Margaret Street at NZ 3624 4144. The site, as seen by the Streetview van in 2010, is now occupied by a bungalow. It seems to date from the mid-1890's, and the latest map I can find which labels it (as Meth. Ch.) is of 1951-2. The 1958-60 map shows what appears to be the same building as Warehouse. The village also had a Wesleyan Methodist Chapel, also demolished. It stood at NZ 3610 4153, and was built at roughly the same time as the P.M. Chapel. The buildings in the area had been demolished by the late 1930's, and sports fields are now in their place. The chapel stood about halfway to the distant trees in this 2010 Streetview.

Lunds Church (North Yorkshire) stands in a very remote and isolated position about half a mile from the road between Kirkby Stephen and Moorcock Inn. I think the nearest settlement will be Aisgill, about 2¼ miles to the N.N.W. Built as a chapel of ease, its grade II listing dates it to the mid-18th century.
