The former Central Methodist Church on Station Road had previously been a United/Free Methodist Church. It's now an events venue, and its history page dates the church to 1886; there is also an old photo. SK 4795 3640. © David Regan (2021).

The Methodist Church (1981) on Butt Street and Bennett Street stands adjacent to its Primitive Methodist predecessor, which now serves as the church hall. Map evidence show that the P.M. was built between 1901 and 1914. SK 4773 3645. © David Regan (2021). Link. Its My Primitive Methodists entry dates it to 1910, and mentions an earlier P.M. chapel on Mill Street of 1833. It was still extant when a map of 1880 was being prepared, though precisely which building is intended isn't clear. In any event, it no longer survives, as all the buildings along what is now Mill Lane are evidently modern. It's site is probably within this view, © David Regan (2021).

St. Giles, founded circa 1160. SK 4800 3726. © Richard Roberts (2014). Three additional views - 1, 2, 3, all © David Regan (2021). Link. Grade I listed.

The town Genuki entry says "There was an ancient chapel here, dedicated to Saint Sytha (or Osyth), a Mercian princess who died circa AD 700". I've been unable to find any mention of its location.

The former Wesleyan Reform Chapel (later United Free Methodist) on Town Street. Every map I have access to labels this just as Chapel, and the identification is solely based on the entry for it here. SK 4795 3660. © David Regan (2021).

A Wesleyan Methodist Chapel once stood on Church Street at SK 4800 3701. Housing has been built on the site, © David Regan (2021). Photos of the chapel can be found here. This source dates it to 1878, replacing an earlier chapel of 1827, and it says that this former chapel also survives as an electrical store on Town Street. It's commercial days seem to be behind it; it's current usage is uncertain. © David Regan (2021).
