The Methodist Church, which stands on
Seaview Road, was
seen by Streetview in 2016.
NJ 4613 6778. The
church website advises that the present building has been in use since 1916,
having previously used what is now the Salvation Army Hall, from the 1870's. The
S.A. Hall stands on Chapel Street, at NJ 4614 6783. It was seen by
Streetview in 2008.

Chapel Street. It pre-dates a map of 1870, as

Link. Old maps show a Mission Hall at
NJ 4427 6657. It has survived, as this 2008
Streetview on
Ogilvie Street shows. This
source
lists its incarnations as - by 1897,
Mission Hall, and from 1961, Assembly Hall. Another
source mentions an un-located Brethren
Gospel Hall, possibly on Victoria Street or Stuart Street. No available
maps indicate where it could have been, and it's possibly confusing it
with the Ogilvie Street hall which is not far from Victoria Street.
Portgordon, Enzie Parish Church of
Scotland stands on a block surrounded by Hope Street, and West High
Street. It was previously Enzie North Parish Kirk. NJ 3970 6427. © Peter
Morgan (2021). It recently joined with the
South and West Church of Scotland
in Buckie - see
the Buckie page for more details. The
former
Methodist Church is on Gordon Street at NJ 3985 6433.

Former Church, now the village hall.
Howard Richter advises that this is the former Free Church, at NJ 068
556. Dating from 1889, it became the hall from 1950, when it was bought
from the church by the villagers. The Wikipedia entry for the village -
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rafford - says that there was an
earlier church dating from 1843, which stood where the car park is now
- so between camera and church. © Peter Morgan (2014).

Link dates
it to 1782. It also mentions its predecessor, St.
Laurence, which stood in the burial ground (Streetview
in 2008) on Burnside Street. No trace is apparent above ground. NJ 2741

also on High Street, is now in commercial use. This
source dates it to 1900 to no later than 1992.

2761 4849. It lay somewhere near the ridge at the back of the field seen
in a Streetview from
2015. It's listed
here only as a possible chapel site.

churches. NJ 167 191.

United Free Church. NJ 167 189.
Link, which suggests
a date for construction in the 1840's. This
transcription (see under the second Kirkmichael entry), published in 1846, says that a Free
Church existed. An 1882
gazetteer however, does not mention a Free Church (though other churches are listed). Does this mean that it had already closed by this date? Both ©

Grade B listed. Described by Peter only as "between Tomintoul and Dalchirach", this church
was identified by Howard Richter, who advises that it is Kirkmichael
Parish Church, at NJ 144 239.
