Kings Community Church meets in Hounsdown School (2012 Streetview) on Jacob's Gutter Lane. SU 358 118. Link.

St. Anne on Calmore Road, Calmore, is marked on older maps as Mission Hall. I haven't been able to find an exact building date, but this news item from 2014 describes it as being 150 years old at that time. SU 3394 1484. © Chris Kippin (2023). Link.

A place of worship is marked on the 1" O.S. map of 1961 on Rumbridge Street at SU 3612 1293. It's unclear whether the building as seen in 2023 is the former church, or a replacement, but a foundation stone from it survives, dating it to 1956. Unfortunately the stone doesn't say what denomination the church was. However, assuming the Erik Routley mentioned on the stone is the Erik Routley famous as a composer of hymns (Wikipedia), then the church is likely to have been Congregational, or perhaps U.R.C.

Streetmap shows a PW (place of worship) just south of the A35 on a road which Streetview calls Eling Wharf, at circa SU 364 131. What is it (or was it)?
