Dagnell, Buckinghamshire,
All Saints. SP 9917 1628. © Bill McKenzie. Link. Grade II listed. The village also used to have a Wesleyan Methodist Chapel, on Main Road South, at SP 9934 1610. Pre-dating a map of 1884, it seems to have survived into the second half of the last century, but has been demolished, as this Streetview from 2019 shows.

Dalmally, Argyll & Bute,
Glenorchy Church. It's dated here to 1808, on the site of earlier churches. NN 1676 2752. © Martin Briscoe. Another view, © N. Argyll Extracts. The parish was formerly known as Clachan Dysart. The current church, the third on this site, was built in 1810. Text in italics © Argyll Extracts. Two interior views - 1, 2, and a close-up of a window, all © Chris Stafford (2013). A Free Church is shown on the 25" O.S. map of 1899, at NN 1694 2728. It pre-dates a map of 1874, and had been demolished no later than 1954. A house now stands on the site, seen here by Streetview in 2011. What may be its successor stands abandoned to the west of the village, at NN 1662 2736. Seen by Streetview in 2022, it's identified as a free church here.
Dalmellington, East Ayrshire.
Dalry, North Ayrshire.
Dalrymple, East Ayrshire, the Parish Church (CoS). Three further views - 1, 2, 3. NS 3618 1461. The site of Dalrymple Free Church, which is now unoccupied. The White Horse pub, a few yards away (seen at the right here) was originally the manse. The church was built in 1864, enalrged in the 1890's, and seems to have closed between 1936 (for when the National Archives of Scotland have minutes), and the later 1950's, as the O.S. map for 1957-8 doesn't show it. The 1946 edition shows it as a U.F. church, though it may have been closed by then. It had been preceded by a wooden church, known as the "Spale Kirk", built in 1846, which shows on the 1858 O.S. map as Free Church. It was presumably demolished at some point subsequent to the building of the Free Church of 1864. It stood at circa NS 3589 1459. The congregation didn't have a permanent home before the wooden church. NS 3618 1461. All © Howard Richter (2014).

(1851). The 25" 1900 O.S. map labels it as Wesleyan. NY 3686 4972. © Steve Bulman. Link. A "History Man" article Tracing the lost chapels of Cumbria, in the Cumberland News of 20 March 2020 discusses a medieval chapel, all trace of which has been lost. It was St. Wynemius, mentioned in a document of 1343, and is supposed to have been located in a field called Chapel Flat. If you know where Chapel Flat is, I'd be pleased to hear from you. Link.

Holy Trinity, built by 1848. SK 4582 9367. © Jonathan Dabs. Another view,
© David Regan (2022). Link. The site (a block of flats) of a Wesleyan Reform Chapel, which stood on Doncaster Road, at SK 4542 9423. Maps show that it was built between 1904 and 1921, and appears to have still been active in 1935. Curiously, the 1" O.S. map of 1953 (revised no later that 1951) doesn't even show the building, though it would appear from the photo of it here, that it was still standing more recently than that. © David Regan (2022).

The former Bethel Wesleyan Methodist Chapel (later United Methodist) on Pilsley Road is now a boxing club. It's dated here to "before 1871....closed after 1975", by which time it was presumably just Methodist. SK 4046 6322. The site of the demolished Ebenezer Primitive Methodist Chapel on Pilsley Road, now housing. It pre-dates a map of 1878, and is still labelled as Ch. on a map from 1955. SK 4044 6319.

Darlton, Nottinghamshire, St. Giles, was made redundant in 2007. SK 779 737. © Mike Berrell. Link.
Darnconner, East Ayrshire, a vanished mining village, has a former Kirk, presumably converted to secular use. Map evidence shows that it was built by 1896, and it seems to have gone out of use in the late 1950's. I haven't been able to find a photo, and the Streetview van hasn't been past it. NS 5763 2397.

Darvel, East Ayrshire,
the Parish Church (CoS, 1887-8) on Hastings Square, originally known as Central Church. NS 5632 3745. Link. Grade B listed. The former Free Church, later known as Easton Memorial Church, closed in 1992 following union with the then Central Church. NS 5621 3748. The former Evangelical Union Church on West Main Street. According to the website for the parish church, this church closed in 1965. NS 5621 3748. All © Martin Richter (2013). The former Original Secession Church (1883) on West Donnington Street. Marked as "O.S. Church" on the 1896 map, "O.S. Ch." on the 1910, it shows as "Hall" on the 1964, 1970 and 1991 editions. NS 5634 3760. © Howard Richter (2014). The former United Presbyterian Church (1884) on Ranoldcoup Road. Old maps show what may be a church and school on the same site (though not the same building) in 1858, as it say "Free Church" and "School" on separate lines. It isn't clear whether this is a Free Church School, or a Free Church and a school. The 1896 marks the present building as "U.P. Church" in 1896, and the 1910 as "U.F. Ch.", but the maps of 1964, 1970 and 1991 mark it as "Hall". As the sign shows, it's currently being used by the local Scouts. Another view. NS 5636 3743. Both © Howard Richter (2014).

Dawley, Shropshire, Holy Trinity. © Derrick Reeves.
Dawlish, Devon.
Dawn, Conwy, Capel Rehoboth, which sits to the north-east of the village at SH 8701 7311. Its Coflein entry dates it to 1837, as Wesleyan Methodist, and says that it was still a chapel in 2000. It can be seen here on a 2011 Streetview. However, available large scale O.S. maps of the early 20th century label it as Baptist. To the west of the village, at SH 8521 7277 is Croes-engan Welsh Calvinistic Chapel. The Coflein entry for it says it's a 1906 re-build on the site of an earlier chapel of 1840. The now-converted chapel, visible here on a 2011 Streetview, was at the far end of the building, originally (as old maps show) with a small porch projecting from the corner towards the road.
Daybrook, Nottingham, Nottinghamshire - see Nottingham.
Daymer Bay, Cornwall,
St. Enodoc. This church has been buried beneath the sands in the past, so much so that the vicar is said to have had to enter the church via the skylight.

It's from the searchable Cumbria Image Bank, which can be accessed here. From the same source is a drawing of a churchyard cross. Link. Grade I listed. Methodist Chapel on Main Street of 1839 (as Wesleyan), re-built in 1888. A news item from 2023 mentions a change of use application (to residential use), and implies closure subsequent to 2015, when flood damage was sustained. NY 0719 3601. © Steve Bulman. Link. The village also once had a Primitive Methodist Chapel, which shows on the 1900 6" O.S. map, on Main Street at NY 0711 3607. I think the property now standing on the site is the white painted one here (2011 Streetview), behind the telegraph pole, or it may possibly be the adjacent bungalow. The My Primitive Methodist entry dates it to 1856, and the closure would seem to have been between 1960 and 1967. The Salvation Army is known to have had a presence here in 1890, based in the Temperance Hall on The Went. This source dates it to 1876, and old maps show that it had gone before 1966. Its site was seen by Streetview in 2011. NY 0702 3605.

The road alignment has changed since then, and the site of the chapel now lies beneath the road approaching the bridge over the river, seen here on a Streetview of 2011. This source advises of a building date of 1809, with a re-build in 1873, and demolition "by 1953".  Tabernacl Independent Chapel stood at SN 9262 2764.

and it includes a photo of the demolished chapel. It implies that the chapel stood roughly where the parked car is in the Streetview already mentioned.

Three interior views - 1, 2, 3, a window, and the font (detail), all © Chris Stafford (2014). Link. Grade II* listed. The village had 2 chapels, just yards apart on High Street, Wesleyan and Primitive Methodist, both demolished. The earlier of the two was the Wesleyan, of 1821, which stood a
t TF 7697 3684. Its site was seen by Streetview in 2009. The P.M. stood at TF 7698 3684, and its site also seen in 2009. There are several on-line references to the last Methodist Chapel closing in 2009. This is erroneous, as the houses on both sites are to be seen on Streetview in 2008, and the lichens on the roof of the house on the site of the P.M. chapel testify to its having been built considerably before 2008. Docking's Wikipedia article mentions a Wesleyan Reform Preaching House west of the pond by the playing fields. I take this to be the pond centred on TF 7679 3704. No available map shows a chapel here, as far back as one published in 1886, but if it wasn't classified as a church that shouldn't be surprising. Can you say exactly where it stood?

Streetview saw it in 2011, and it's dated here to 1854-1988. TF 2361 8290. The other, only labelled as Chapel or Chap. on different maps, shows on Hollengs Lane at TF 2346 8297. The property on the site today can be seen in a Streetview from 2009. This is probably the Wesleyan Methodist Chapel of 1805-1936 mentioned on the village Genuki page as being on Old School Lane, which is the next street to the north. It's not obvious whether anything of the chapel survives. The aforementioned Genuki page also mentions a United Free Methodist Chapel of 1868-1901 on Mill Road at TF 2347 8308. It may survive as the house furthest from the camera here in a Streetview from 2011. Genuki also mentions a Baptist Chapel on Old School Lane at TF 2347 8298. This is so close to the grid reference given for the Wesleyan Chapel that they may be the same building.

Draycote, Warwickshire, the former General Baptist Chapel (1811), now converted to residential use. There is a date-stone for 1869, though this is perhaps the date for a re-build - see here for a photo of 1911, mentioning a centenary. The OS map for 1887 shows it as Baptist Chapel (General). This source mentions a Particular Baptist Chapel in the village; whether this is the same building is not known at present. Although the 1955 OS map shows it as Bapt. Chap., this source says it closed in the late 1930's. This Geograph photo of 2006 shows it still unconverted. Another view. SP 445 701. Both © Howard Richter (2015).

So has the font been moved somewhere else? It does appear to have been moved, though it remains on the site - Jay Priest has found a photo of the font (labelled as basin) on this website, where there are many other photos of the Abbey.

Although clearly labelled Dufton Church and Pike, this drawing is a bit puzzling. It's clearly a different building to today's church, but the only recorded re-build was in 1784 - the 1853 restoration was internal only. Was this perhaps an imaginative re-creation of how the church might have looked before the 1784 re-build? And if it is, did he have any sources on which to base his drawing?

Dunkeswell, Devon, St. Nicholas. The
grade II listing dates it to an 1865-8 re-build, with the tower again re-built in 1953 (which Chris advises was necessitated because it had been weakened by activity at the nearby WWII airbase).

Dunlop, East Ayrshire, the Kirk on Main Street, as seen by Streetview in 2010. Various sources differ as to the age of the current church, and how long there has been a church on the present site - the church website, the church entry on Wikipedia, and the Clan Dunlop website. Its grade B listing dates it to 1835, with predecessors on the same site from 1766 and 1641.  In the churchyard are tomb and a schoolhouse, both listed as grade A - tomb, schoolhouse. NS 4047 4941. The former Free Church on Main Street was originally U.F.C., and now serves as the Parish Church Hall. The Clan Dunlop website dates it to circa 1845 (though it doesn't show on a map of 1857). It can be seen here on a 2010 Streetview. An old photo is available here. NS 4088 4948. Its grade C listing dates it to "soon after .... 1843).

Dunsley, North Yorkshire, the former Dunsley Chapel (CoE). Colin advises - it supposedly stands on the site of a 12th century chapel, but the present building was originally the village school. Although some sources say this was Methodist, it was Anglican - an outreach of St. Margaret at Aislaby. It closed as a chapel some years ago, and presently (2009) appears to be undergoing conversion to a private residence. © Colin Waters.

Church of Scotland. It was built as a Free Church a few years after the disruption of 1843, and was later United Free. NC 404 669. © Bill Henderson. Another view, © Martin Richter (2013). Link. As Church of Scotland it had at least three predecessors. Its immediate predecessor was this building at NC 4023 6781, now in residential use. It was apparently built circa 1814 when the medieval church was abandoned. The date when it went out of use as a church is unclear, but map evidence implies it was between 1905 and 1962. © Martin Richter (2013). The ruins of the late medieval church (Balnakeil) stand at NC 39109 68649. This link provides a date of 1692, and also mentions a yet earlier church or churches going back to at least the 13th century, and possibly much earlier if the traditional association with St. Maelrubha is correct.
