The Methodist Church on Church Street. SK 3867 2518. © James Murray. Link. It's dated here to 1870 as Wesleyan, replacing an earlier chapel of 1826 which later became the Sunday School, and stands adjacent (2023 Streetview) - SK 3869 2517. Also mentioned is a yet earlier chapel of 1802, but it isn't located.

Melbourne Cemetery on Packhorse Road has a pair of former Mortuary Chapels, which date from circa 1860. The chapel to the left of the entrance was Non-Conformist, and Church of England on the right. Interior view of the latter chapel. SK 387 258. Both © Richard Roberts (2018).

The former New Jerusalem (Swedenborgian) Church (1864) on Derby Road. According to the GENUKI entry, it was preceded by an earlier church of 1825. Date of closure is not known. The church was still standing at least as recently as 2016 (Google Streetview), and appears to have been converted for residential use. From Neil Floyd's Collection.
