The My Primitive Methodists website has an entry for Meesham (Measham) P.M. Chapel on Leicester Road, now demolished. It dates it to 1860, and says it was still active in 1961. The 1904 6" map locates it at SK 3362 1230. Housing was built on the site, which can be seen here on a 2010 Streetview. The same 6" map also notices another Meth. Chap. on Navigation Street. In this 2010 Streetview, the chapel stood on what are now the nearest few parking bays at the left, perhaps extending across the wall into the adjoining small garage. Could this have been the predecessor of the Wesleyan Chapel, as mentioned below?

The 25" O.S. map of 1903 marks an St. Charles' R.C. Chapel on Bosworth Road at SK 3373 1207. It stood beneath the modern housing seen here in a 2012 Streetview, and is commemorated in the adjacent side road St. Charles Croft. The present Catholic Church is St. Charles Borromeo, only a few yards from the site of its predecessor. Howard Richter advises that it can (just) be seen in a 2009 Streetview (behind and immediately to the left of the garage). A good photo here where it's dated to 2007 - it also dates its predecessor to 1881. SK 3379 1212.
