Barnett (2016). A Wesleyan Methodist Chapel stood at SW 6723 3790. A
private residence now stands on the
site, but whether this is a conversion from the old chapel, or the old chapel
demolished and the present building put up is unclear. Its appearance favours
the latter. The
National

The former Bible Christian
Chapel at St. Luke's, as seen by Streetview in 2009. A
downloadable thesis (pdf file, p. 360) dates it to 1858 (a re-build of an
earlier chapel of 1829; and enlarged in 1891).
There's also a photo. SW 1951 7643.
Grade II listed. Nearby, O.S. maps indicate St.
Luke's Chapel (Remains of), at SW 1946 7643. The building which seems
to be intended can be seen here
in a Streetview from 2021. It seems modern, so does anything of the chapel
remain? I've been unable to discover anything about it.

Grade II* listed. A number of churchyard features are also listed separately
- see
here. O.S. maps show a number of chapels, the site of another, and a Mission
Room. The current Methodist Church is on Fore
Street, and was seen by
Streetview in 2009. It has a date-stone for 1825, and was Wesleyan (source).
SX 0997 9075. The
church website says that it is the second on the site. I did wonder if 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
here - I don't know if this
is the former Mission Room, or a later building on its site. O.S. maps mark,
almost directly behind the Mission Room, St. James's
Chapel (Site of), at SX 0994 9068. It's site can't be seen on Streetview.

close (200 meters) to each other, but perhaps it's an error on the part
of the Ordnance Survey, as the source says it was used as a Sunday
School after the newer chapel opened (i.e. 1872). SW 7913 6037.

haven't been able to discover anything further about it, except that an
information board in the town says it was 13th century, closed at the
Reformation, and the tower demolished in 1798 (implying that the rest of the
church had gone before this?). Assuming the O.S. maps
are accurate, its site now lies beneath housing on Balcoath, seen by
Streetview in 2009.
However, the information board implies a site a little further south on West
End, now occupied by a house called
Trinity House.

Collection, previously in the Unknown section, of St. Gemy's Church. Judy suspected this
could be the church in St. Genesius/St. Gennys in Cornwall, at SX 148 971. Certainly the lie of the land is similar, but the tower must have had major
alterations. Simon Davies, Greg Mishevski, and Janet Gimber have all confirmed
that Judy was right, and advised that the top stage of the tower is a 20th
century addition. Some links -

mining disaster, the pit was graded into tiers and dedicated to the memory of
those who died in the disaster. It was restored with the aid of lottery funds in
about 2003. More recently, the lease was taken over by the Parish Council and a
new Management Committee formed to manage and promote the use of the Pit. The
village cemetery is next door.".
