the tower must have had major alterations. Simon Davies, Greg Mishevski, and
Janet Gimber have all confirmed that Judy was right, and advised that the top
stage of the tower is a 20th century addition. Some links -

Grade II* listed. The adjacent schoolroom is also listed, as
Grade II, as are the
graveyard walls and gates. The news report noted above mentions that the chapel was a replacement for Sowa
Chapel and Bottoms Chapel, both of which were in a poor condition.
Sowa Chapel was probably a building at the farm called Ardensaweth, at SW 372
231. Bottoms is a hamlet at SW 3855 2425. Can you advise if either building
survives? It also mentions a chapel at Treen, which can be seen
here on Google Streetview, and it stands at SW 394 229. This is

after the 1932 union, it was St. Mabyn Methodist Church. It seems to have been
active into the 1980's at least. The Streetview van hasn't been passed it, but I
think it's the building furthest from the camera in this

those who died in the disaster. It was restored with the aid of lottery funds in
about 2003. More recently, the lease was taken over by the Parish Council and a
new Management Committee formed to manage and promote the use of the Pit. The

Severn Beach,
Gloucestershire, the site of the demolished St. Nicholas on Church Road. It was
a "tin tabernacle" and seems to date from around the 1940's. Still open as
recently as 1992, the discovery of asbestos forced its closure and subsequent
demolition. Housing was built on the site, and the church would have stood
rather closer to the roadway than the left hand house in Carole's photo. A photo
of the church was available
here,
but the website wasn't working when I tested it. ST 54447 84814. The
site of the demolished Catholic
Church of Our Lady on Riverside Park. The building date is not presently known
exactly, but was probably in the 1930's or 1940's, and it was still open into
the 1970's. Subsequently demolished, a house was built on the site, though the
church stood a little further away from the road. ST 53922 84738.

(Independent Evangelical) stands on Gorse Cover Road.

85185. It is successor to the 1960's Emmaus Chapel on Green Lane which was
demolished to allow for road building. It stood
here, at ST 54210 85185.
The church was originally founded in the 1930's, meeting at first in old Nissen
huts on Shaft Road, and also in a marquee at Salthouse Farm.
Link; the
history page
includes a photo of the Nissen huts. Severn Beach Methodist Church used to stand
on Beach Avenue. The congregation from St. Nicholas shared the building after
their church was closed in the 1990's, and the church was subsequently re-named
as Severn Beach Christian Family Church, and a few years later as Severn Beach
United Church. Built sometime after WWII, structural problems forced its closure
in (or soon after) 2011. The site
is being re-developed for housing, and the church was located towards the rear
of the plot, to the left of the conifer tree. A photo of the church was
available
here, but the website wasn't working when I tested it. ST 53973 85113. The
site of Rosary Priory on
Shaft Road belonged to The Order of St. Gilbert of Sempringham of The
Modified Rite, who are Liberal Catholics. Information relating to this
building is hard to come by, but its demolition may be related to its proximity
to the nearby M4. It shows on maps up to the 1970's. ST 54069

A lovely C14 church on a riverbank. Roger relates the following old story - "An
amusing legend told in these parts is about a long ago funeral at Shapwick's
notoriously flood prone church. Mourners were interrupted by a sudden great
storm as they lowered the deceased into the grave. As Shapwick quickly became
flooded they abandoned the proceedings for higher ground. However,
returning later they found the coffin had floated into the River Stour and was
never to be seen again!" © Roger Hopkins.

The Methodist Church on Lane Head
Road. According to this
source it was a re-build in the 1980's of a chapel of 1876-8, recycling the
building materials. It was originally Wesleyan, and the 1870's chapel had been a
replacement for an earlier chapel of 1857 on Cliffe Road. I've "travelled" along
Cliffe Road on Google maps, and cannot see any obvious candidates for this
earlier chapel. SE 1932 0953.

Providence Methodist New Connexion Chapel stood a
little way east of St. Paul, on Marsh Lane, at SE 1927 0977. Also sometimes
referred to as Trinity Chapel, it was later United Methodist, and was, according
to this
source, re-built in 1922, closing in 1966. The later chapel was built on an
alignment at 90 degrees to its predecessor. An old postcard showing the New
Connexion chapel can be seen
here (scroll down), and there's a photo of the surviving graveyard
here. I don't think the U.M. Chapel can be seen from Streetview, and I
haven't been able to find a photo. All

Howard Richter has been looking at the available maps of Sherston, and wonders
if the house in the photo may not have been the actual chapel - in this
particular map (6", 1924),
Sherston is just above the extreme bottom edge, and the row of buildings north
of Gaston Lane (and angled away from it) shows a public building (the blacked-in
oblong) immediately adjacent to the houses on its northern edge. This may
have been the chapel, though whether it survives is not known as yet.

O.S. maps of 1886 and 1900 show an Independent Chapel in woodland at ST
8441 7367. After 1900 it's not labelled until 1977, when it shows as Friends'
Meeting House (remains of). So was this a meeting house and later a chapel
before falling into dereliction, or has the O.S. made a rare mistake?
