The church also featured in the Unknown section - Leslie was trying to identify a church with family associations. The family lived near Duckington in Cheshire from about 1873-82, and in Eccleshall, Staffordshire until about 1890. However the church, identified by Jay Priest, proved to be Brynford Church. The first photo here clinches it. The former Saron Chapel (Calvinistic Methodist), now in secular use. © Carl Hogan (2014).

My appreciation to Janet Gimber, who has advised that both Peniel chapels were Wesleyan Methodist, the larger one succeeding the older. The 1899 chapel then became the church hall, and was probably used as a Sunday School.
