Padbury, Buckinghamshire, St. Mary the Virgin. Two interior views - 1, 2, and the font. Another font stands in a corner. Some very fragmentary wall paintings survive. SP 7214 3091. All © David Regan (2018). Link. Grade II* listed. A former Wesleyan Methodist Chapel (Streetview in 2021) stands on Main Street at SP 7185 3061. It has a date-stone for 1876. There was also a Primitive Methodist Chapel on Lower Way, dated here to 1841. The only available map to show it (1885) isn't clear about which building the label is meant to be applied to - there is no label on the next map of 1900. It will have stood somewhere near to SP 7204 3065. There are no obvious candidates for a surviving building, but it will have been somewhere near to the 2011 Streetview here.

So was this part of the Abbey, or perhaps just built on the grounds, or with stonework from the dissolved Abbey? Or is the name just a red herring? Pevsner makes no mention of this building (at least, not in my 1996 edition), which is odd. The Grade II* listing is also unforthcoming. SW 919 754. Both © Paul E. Barnett (2015).

The more northerly stood at the junction of Thames Avenue and Whitchurch Road, at SU 6356 7664. Genuki identifies it as Primitive Methodist, "before 1899", "closed after 1973". There's now a house on the site, seen by Streetview in 2021. The site of the other, also on Whitchurch Road at SU 6356 7656, is now occupied by an optician's, seen by Streetview in 2021. Genuki identifies this one as Congregational. Genuki also mentions a Friends' Meeting House, but I haven't been able to locate it.

Map evidence suggests it was built after 1896, and before 1909, when it shows as U.F. Church. It continued showing on O.S. maps at least up to the 1985 edition (United Free Church). Evidently now closed, this photo on an external website, is from 2006, and the church appears to be being looked after, so was possibly still active at that date. Another view. NS 4150 1055. It had been preceded by an earlier church at circa NS 4143 1056, which shows on the 1857 map, and it continued in use as the church hall, at least until 1962, when it is shown as such on the O.S. map of that year.

Pen y Cae-Mawr, Monmouthshire, a ruinous General Baptist Chapel stands a few kilometres away at ST 425 972. Old maps show it as Pen Y Well Chapel. Long derelict, Neil advises that since he took these photos, the tombs in the graveyard have been re-located to a field a little distance away. Apparently there were plans to consolidate and rebuild into a private residence, but after initial works, further efforts stopped. The chapel itself must be quite old as gravestones dated back to the 18th century have been re-located, and a yew tree which stood in the churchyard has been destroyed. Three additional views - 1, 2, 3 and an old monument. All © Neil Floyd.

Penegoes, Powys, Ebeneser Independent Chapel, identified by Mike Berrell. SH 778 011. © John Bowdler. Coflein entry, which dates it to 1823. Howard Richter has advised of three other churches and chapels which stand/stood nearby. A former Calvinistic Methodist Chapel stands at SH 7755 0095, which the Coflein entry dates to 1840. Now converted to residential use, it can be seen on a 2009 Streetview here. A Wesleyan Methodist Chapel stood near Ebeneser, at SH 7775 0100. Coflein dates it to a re-build of 1906, the original chapel of 1823 having been previously replaced in 1848 and 1872. It finally closed in 1970, and is noted as "disused" in 1998. Streetview shows a residential building on the site; whether this is a completely new building, or incorporates all or part of the chapel is (so far) not known. Ebeneser can also be seen, immediately left of the Wesleyan, behind the car. St. Cadfarc (CiW) stands at SH 770 010. Built in 1884, it was the replacement for a medieval predecessor.

Bethel Congregational Chapel stands just a short distance away, at SH 8782 7836. It can be seen here on a 2009 Streetview. As Howard Richter has pointed out, the Coflein entry for this is suspect. The grid reference is adrift (they give SH 8777 7830) and a date of 1881. There was another chapel nearby, shown on O.S. maps as Presbyterian in 1900 but Congregational by 1913. This has a grid reference of SH 8777 7834. Demolished for road widening by 1957, it stood roughly where the Streetview camera was to take this view in 2009. Howard suspects that this is the 1887 chapel, and which was replaced following its demolition by Bethel.

Pentre Isaf, Conwy, Capel Cefn-Coch (Calvinistic Methodist) can be seen in a 2009 Streetview here. The Coflein entry dates it to a mid 19th century re-build of an earlier chapel of 1796, although curiously, its grade II listing (which includes some photographs) says it is "little altered since its erection in 1796". The former Capel Ainon (Baptist) stands about 3/4 of a mile NE of Pentre, at SH 8825 6977, and is now in residential use. Seen on a 2009 Streetview here and here, the Coflein entry gives it dates of 1862-1986. Lastly, about a mile NW of Pentre is the very isolated Codau Baptist Chapel, at SH 8637 7074. The Coflein entry dates it to 1832, with closure in the 1980's. It says that it "stood disused in the 1990's", but the presence of tools and ladders in the 2009 Streetview suggests it may have been undergoing conversion at that time.

Another view, © Carole Sage (2018), who explains that there are references to this having been built in 1903. This may be correct, but a Wesleyan Chapel was certainly present with the same footprint on the same site as early as a map of 1881. It closed as a church in 1973, when the congregation merged with St. Peter's Anglican Church, forming an ecumenical partnership. The old church was then used as a church hall, called Trinity Hall. The church and associated buildings were put up for sale in 2011, and the estate agent's notice includes interior photos. The church was subsequently converted for residential use. A Mission Hall was built in 1881 on Redwick Road, Pilling. 1960's maps still show it as a Mission Hall, but by 1972 it had become the village hall.

Plumstead, Greater London, St. Margaret. One of London's lost churches, having been demolished in 1974. From an old postcard (franked 1907) in Steve Bulman's Collection. As advised by Mike Berrell, this website confirms the identification. A mystery photo previously in the "Unknown" section came from Mark Wilson who discovered a photo album in a skip in Dagenham of a church interior, which has a seven-light East window with rose window above. The rather awkward transition from the rose to the junction of the 2nd and 3rd, and 5th and 6th lancets are unusual. The rest of the album can be viewed here, and includes photos including the iron-strapworked door, the only exterior views. Photos are on an external website.

Charmley.  This building is marked as a chapel on maps, but has no visible denomination - can you supply it? My appreciation to Howard Richter for advising that this was built as a school (before 1898, as it appears on a map of that date). By 1940 it shows as a church, and on a 1964 map, is St. Stephen's Church (CiW). Both © Gervase N. E. Charmley. Shiloh Apostolic Church on Llan Road. © Gerard Charmley (2011). Link. Moriah Chapel on Station Road, as seen by Streetview in 2022. The date-stone for 1876 can be seen. Older O.S. maps label it as Jerusalem Chapel (Calvinistic Methodist). SS 8718 8900. Yet another Station Road chapel has been demolished. All available maps identify it only as Capel. It stood on the north side of the road, just west of the railway bridge, at SS 8704 8901. It doesn't appear to have been active after WWI. Its site was seen by Streetview in 2022. The property name (Ainon House) suggests that it was the predecessor of the previously mentioned Ainon. If correct, then the dates mentioned for the other Ainon includes both Ainon's, and the date-stone of this first chapel was built into the second.

Pont-y-Rhyl, Bridgend, a distant view of the former St. Mary (CiW). Its Cofelin entry dates it to 1891-2. SS 9045 8959. © Gervase N. E. Charmley. Early O.S. maps mark a Mission Room near to the church at SS 9049 8954. It ceases to be labelled in the early 20th century, so it's possible that it was the predecessor of St. Mary. In a 2010 Streetview, its site will be somewhere up the grassy bank - the roof of St. Mary can be seen among the trees in the background. Old maps also mark Carmel Chapel at SS 9047 8963, a short distance N.E. of the church. It survived at least up to the mid-20th century but was closed and demolished at some point. Its site (Streetview 2022) remains undeveloped. Another chapel is shown on old maps - as Nazareth Chapel (Welsh Meth.), at SS 9073 8936. Genuki dates it to 1887, closed by 1998. From an aerial view I think it survives, but it isn't visible on Streetview.

Priors Marston, Warwickshire, St. Leonard. Two additional views - 1, 2. Four interior views 1, 2, 3, 4, the pulpit, altar, a modern window and the font. All © John Bowdler (2013). Link. Grade II listed. The former Wesleyan Chapel (1858, converted 1973, as the date-stone obligingly tells us). Another view. SP 4895 5740. All © Howard Richter (2015). The former Primitive Methodist Chapel, long converted to residential use. Note the filled in round-headed window in the end wall. A photo of the chapel in the 1920's is available here, which shows round headed windows on the long side too, and a now-vanished porch. Genuki says that the church was founded in 1855, though whether this building is of that vintage is uncertain. Warwick Record Office holds documents for 1905-1933, and it seems likely that the chapel closed near the latter date. SP 4895 5790. © Howard Richter (2015).
