St. Gennys, Cornwall, St. Genesius. A postcard from Judy Flynn's 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 - 1, 2, 3, 4. None date the tower addition any more closely, but happily, Greg found it mentioned on the British Listed Buildings entry (Grade I listed), where it says the work was carried out in 1910.

On the earliest map available to me (1881) it's labelled as Methodist Chapel (United). This source dates it to 1857 as a Wesleyan Methodist Association Chapel, and after the 1932 union, it was St. Mabyn Methodist Church. It seems to have been active into the 1980's at least. The Streetview van hasn't been passed it, but I think it's the building furthest from the camera in this Streetview from 2010.

There was also certainly a Capel here, again unidentified on available maps, and this site was seen by Streetview in 2023. Can you clarify this confusion?

Severn Beach, Gloucestershire, the site of the demolished St. Nicholas on Church Road. It was a "tin tabernacle" and seems to date from around the 1940's. Still open as recently as 1992, the discovery of asbestos forced its closure and subsequent demolition. Housing was built on the site, and the church would have stood rather closer to the roadway than the left hand house in Carole's photo. A photo of the church was available here, but the website wasn't working when I tested it. ST 54447 84814. The site of the demolished Catholic Church of Our Lady on Riverside Park. The building date is not presently known exactly, but was probably in the 1930's or 1940's, and it was still open into the 1970's. Subsequently demolished, a house was built on the site, though the church stood a little further away from the road. ST 53922 84738. Emmaus Church Centre (Independent Evangelical) stands on Gorse Cover Road. Another view. ST 54210 85185. It is successor to the 1960's Emmaus Chapel on Green Lane which was demolished to allow for road building. It stood here, at ST 54210 85185. The church was originally founded in the 1930's, meeting at first in old Nissen huts on Shaft Road, and also in a marquee at Salthouse Farm. Link; the history page includes a photo of the Nissen huts. Severn Beach Methodist Church used to stand on Beach Avenue. The congregation from St. Nicholas shared the building after their church was closed in the 1990's, and the church was subsequently re-named as Severn Beach Christian Family Church, and a few years later as Severn Beach United Church. Built sometime after WWII, structural problems forced its closure in (or soon after) 2011. The site is being re-developed for housing, and the church was located towards the rear of the plot, to the left of the conifer tree. A photo of the church was available here, but the website wasn't working when I tested it. ST 53973 85113. The site of Rosary Priory on Shaft Road belonged to The Order of St. Gilbert of Sempringham of The Modified Rite, who are Liberal Catholics. Information relating to this building is hard to come by, but its demolition may be related to its proximity to the nearby M4. It shows on maps up to the 1970's. ST 54069 85736.

As Shapwick quickly became flooded they abandoned the proceedings for higher ground.  However, returning later they found the coffin had floated into the River Stour and was never to be seen again!" © Roger Hopkins.

This 2022 news story (which dates it to 1890, when it replaced an earlier wooden church) says that is due to be closed and replaced by a new church on a different site. SJ 7008 5177. Link. For a relatively small village, there was a surprisingly large contingent of Methodist Chapels shown on a map of 1898 - two Wesleyan, a Primitive, and a United Free. Working from north to south, these were a Primitive on Rope Lane at SJ 6990 5190, and its site (2016 Streetview). Dated here to 1869 closing in 1967, it also says that it had a predecessor of 1830, site so far not identified. The next, Wesleyan, is the current Methodist Church (2023 Streetview) on Main Road, which was built in 1870. Link. Next, also Wesleyan, on Main Road, at SJ 7013 5179. It perhaps survives, in the guise of a chip shop (2011 Streetview). Lastly, the United Methodist Free Church on Crewe Road at SJ 7013 5162.

Howard Richter has been looking at the available maps of Sherston, and wonders if the house in the photo may not have been the actual chapel - in this particular map (6", 1924), Sherston is just above the extreme bottom edge, and the row of buildings north of Gaston Lane (and angled away from it) shows a public building (the blacked-in oblong) immediately adjacent to the houses on its northern edge. This may have been the chapel, though whether it survives is not known as yet.

Another Baptist Church is shown on O.S. maps less than ½ a mile to the south on Swan Street, at TL 7824 3405. The source already referred to names it as Rehoboth Strict Baptist Chapel. Streetview saw it in 2009. The 1897 O.S. maps marks a Congl. Chap. a little further south on Swan Street at TL 7828 3382. The same source says that this was originally a Quaker Meeting House, sold to the Congregationalists in 1833. Now in residential use, it was seen by Streetview in 2018. Also on Swan Street was a Primitive Methodist Chapel, referred to here as having been founded before 1867. The only available map to show it is from 1881, where it's just a few yards north of the Baptist Chapel, at circa TL 7820 3410. It stood where the parking area is in this 2009 Streetview.
