the latter. The

The

adjacent building (up the hill) is the predecessor - seen
here, also in 2009, but it's
marked on maps as a school. A
so far unidentified Chapel
stands or stood on Dunn Street, at SX 0988 9078.
Streetview saw it in 2009.
Whether this is the converted chapel or a building erected on its site, is
unclear. Another former Chapel stands on Mount
Pleasant. It has a date-stone for 1859 and was seen by
Streetview in 2021. The 25"
O.S. map of 1907 shows a Misn. Rm. (Mission
Room) at SX 0996 9068 on Fore Street. The best view on Streetview (2009) is

is the former Mission Room, or a later building on its site. O.S. maps mark,

than 1850, which stood a little way to the S.E. by the river at SW 6506 4200.

washed away or demolished. Although its site hasn't been seen by Streetview,
what is probably the track
which will have accessed it has, in 2021 (it stood to the right of the track). A

Wesleyan Methodist Chapel (later Methodist) stood off Fore Street, next
to the Congregational, at SX 9126 6346. Its site is now a
car park (2023
Streetview - note the Congregational at the rear left). At some point after the
old chapel closed, the congregation met in the single storey building next to
the car park, seen here
in a Streetview from 2011 - the church signage can just be made out above the
blue car. Lack of a church web presence suggests that this may have since
closed. The former

tower must have had major alterations. Simon Davies, Greg Mishevski, and Janet

one might be tempted to suggest that the chapel has survived and been
re-purposed, but unless the Ordnance Survey committed an error this cannot be,

Active into the latter half of the last century was a small

Tremar, the former United
Methodist Chapel at Tremar Coombe is dated 1863. Older maps label it as a

Grade II listed. Tremar hamlet used to have a
Primitive Methodist Chapel, at SX 2555 6824. Its site hasn't been seem by
Streetview, and aerial views suggest it may not survive. There was also a
Wesleyan Methodist Chapel at SX 2582 6821. It's
unclear if the house on the
site (2022 Streetview) is the converted chapel, or a later bungalow.
Both of these chapels
pre-date a map of 1886, and on a map of 1955 the P.M. Chapel had gone out of
use, though the Wesleyan (presumably now just Methodist) was still
active.

Another exterior and interior photos can be found
here. As the church
website
(where there are also photos) explains, the church was originally towards the
north of the village, and was transplanted to its current location in 1940. A
map of 1933 labels a building as St. Anne's on the north side of Madeira
Drive (at circa SS 2020 0245), although it isn't indicated as a place of
worship. SS
2027 0207.
