Birks. Two further views - 1, 2. 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
which declares "Bleatarn Chapel". By studying old maps, Howard Richter suspects that it was built after 1899, but certainly before 1915, when it is shown
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).
