Baddiley, Cheshire, St. Michael. An unusual building, Chris explains:- "As is quite usual, the responsibility for repair
of the chancel and nave are quite separate, though not always as visually striking as this. (Background: The rector was responsible for the chancel, and the
parish for the nave. Sometimes for historical reasons a particular house in a village inherits the responsibility for repair of the chancel. A recent case
(Aston Cantlow v Warwick) in the papers concerned a house-owner who found herself landed with a hefty bill for repair of the chancel. Baddiley church is no
different from other churches concerning respective responsibilities". See also the Hinderwell, North Yorkshire entry. The chancel is timber-framed. Normally
closed, but open on Saturdays from April onwards. SJ 605 503. Both © Chris Emms (2010).

"Free Kirk" look about it, but he isn't certain if it was a church. Les Horn has advised that this was built as a Memorial Hall to John
Campbell (1823-1897), postmaster, botanist, and Bard of Clan Campbell, so never a church.

This used to be a famous Sandemanian/Inghamite
Chapel (there are transcribed records for 1754-1807). Subsequently Independent,
it continued in use until 1836, but was described as "ruinous" in an 1851
directory. The recorded dates for the two sects overlap, so they may have shared
the building, or the Independents may have had another building or room nearby,
and later moved into the former Sandemanian chapel. Kevin Price, who has visited
the building, says it is now used as a barn, and looking through a crack in the
door, saw evidence of where the pulpit once was. He also advises that the font
was eventually transferred to Kendal Inghamite Chapel in 1938. This short
history composed from the researches of Howard Richter and Kevin Price. NY 719 151. All © Tim Flitcroft (2011).

Marked on some OS maps at NY 722 132 is a "Place of Worship", though nothing is
visible except this inscribed stone

as Wesleyan Methodist. A local informant advised that this was a "tin tabernacle", and that it closed in the late 1980's. Both © Martin Richter (2011).
