A former Methodist Church (now an antiques centre) stands at the junction of Pinfold Hill and Chapel  Street. It shows on a map of 1930 as United Methodist, but David advises that it was originally Methodist New Connexion.

The site (beyond the hedge, where the caravan and garage are) of the former Primitive Methodist Chapel on Barnburgh Lane. It's dated here to 1902-1967, but it was P.M. before this, as it shows as such on a map of 1892, surveyed in the previous year. And another source mentions a Wesleyan Chapel of 1879 - was this the same chapel, later sold to the P.M.'s? SE 4832 0333. © David Regan (2022).

Bentley, Doncaster.
Billingley, the former Methodist Chapel on Chapel Lane. Originally Wesleyan, it's dated here to 1818, where it says that it was still active in 2019, when the page was published - this latter seems to be incorrect, as another source dates its closure to 2012.
SE 4366 0472. © David Regan (2022).
Birdwell, the Methodist Church on Huddersfield Road. SE 3458 0146. Link. An archived history of the church is available here.
It was preceded by a chapel on Chapel Street, an illustration of which can be found on the archived page already mentioned, and where it's dated to 1904 (there had been earlier chapels on the same site). It had been Methodist New Connexion, and later United Methodist. It was closed in 1996 because of subsidence and subsequently demolished. Housing has since been built on the site. SE 3445 0116. The village also had a Primitive Methodist Chapel, on Wentworth Street, at SE 3456 0104. Replaced by housing at some point, it's dated by old maps to 1894-1906. Its marked on a map of 1956 as Meth. Ch. (Dis.), so disused by this date. All © David Regan (2021).
Blacker Hill, the former Methodist Church, which stands on the site of a Primitive Methodist predecessor, on Wentworth Road. The P.M. chapel is dated here to 1859. SE 3688 0206. © David Regan (2021). A little way south is the site of a demolished Mission Church, at SE 3691 0202. Old maps show that it was built in the first few years of the 20th century, and survived at least until 1955. It's site was a grassed area when seen by Streetview in 2011.

The former Free Christian Church on Priory Road is now in commercial use. This source says it pre-dates a map of 1930. SE 4542 0282. © David Regan (2022). The site (the house with dormer windows) of the demolished Primitive Methodist Chapel, on Angel Street and Mexborough Road. It pre-dates a map of 1901. SE 4563 0239. © David Regan (2022). The town's Wikipedia entry mentions a Roman Catholic Church on Station Road, "closed in the late 1980's", and now "an electrical goods shop". It can be seen in a Streetview from 2018. SE 4539 0271.

Braithwell, St. James. SK 530 947. © Bill Henderson. Grade II* listed.
Bramley, St. Francis. A chapel of ease which shows on the same site on a map of 1854 must surely be a predecessor, as the present church looks to be 20th century. SK 4901 9229. Link. The former Wesleyan Methodist Chapel.
Its grade II listing dates it to 1785, and conversion to residential use circa 1975. It has a rather handsome date-stone. SK 4879 9241. All © David Regan (2021).
Brampton, the former Methodist Church (originally Wesleyan) on Chapel Lane. A newspaper article dates it to 1927. It now serves as a community centre. © David Regan (2021).

Brodsworth, St. Michael and All Angels. Another view.
SE 5067 0723. Both © David Regan (2022). Link. Grade II* listed. There used to be a Wesleyan Methodist Chapel in an isolated position to the N.E. of the village, at SE 5135 0767. Pre-dating a map of 1892, it had been demolished by 1952. It stood just in front of the clump of trees seen in the distance in a 2009 Streetview. I've been unable to find any details about it.
Broomhill, Sheffield - see Sheffield.
Broomhill, near Wombwell, the former Primitive Methodist Chapel.
It postdates a map of 1905. Its entry in the Genuki index says it was in use as a swimming pool at that time. SE 4181 0190. © David Regan (2021).
Bullhouse, Nonconformist Chapel (originally Presbyterian). Its grade II listing dates it to 1692, and it's said to be England's oldest continually used nonconformist chapel. Two further views - 1, 2. SE 2113 0266. All

Grade II* listed, from which we learn that there is fabric of the 13th, 14th, and 15th centuries, with a restoration by Sir G.G. Scott in 1874, and a further restoration, including adding the north aisle, by Comper in 1892-4.

Carlton (near Barnsley), St. John the Evangelist. It stands at the junction of Carlton Road and Church Street, and is dated here to 1878-9. SE 3662 1015. © Bill Henderson. Another view, © Steve Bulman. Link.
The former Wesleyan Methodist Chapel on Chapel Lane, now in residential use. This source dates it to 1894-2013 - it had a predecessor on the same site of 1843. SE 3629 0999. © David Regan (2022). The village also had another Chapel, identified on available O.S. maps only as Nonconformist, on Carlton Road at SE 3642 1000. It's identified here as Salem Welsh Methodist Chapel, 1902-1983. It looks as though the chapel boundary wall might survive. © David Regan (2022). The Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses, which stands on Carlton Road, as seen by Streetview in 2009. SE 3615 0963.
Catcliffe, St. Mary. Another view. SK 4252 8872. Both
© David Regan (2021). Link dates it to 1910. Maps older than this show a St. Faith a short distance further east, at SK 4259 8871. This source describes it as a tin Mission Church, destroyed in a gale in 1962. It stood in the churchyard, seen here in a Streetview from 2021, close to the road. The village also had a Chapel on South View Terrace, at SK 4245 8842. This is very likely to have been the Methodist Chapel (originally Wesleyan) mentioned here, where documents dated to 1906-1990 are referenced. However, old maps show that it existed at least as early as 1893. A bungalow stands on the site today, as seen by Streetview in 2021.

Clayton, the site (the building with the red tiled roof) of the demolished Wesleyan Methodist Chapel, on Chapelsfield Lane, distantly seen by Streetview in 2009 SE 4545 0783. This source references documents pertaining to the chapel for the years 1815-1984. The north-western part of the village is labelled on O.S. maps as Chapel Hill, though no available maps mark a chapel here.

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).

Fenwick, the demolished St. John. This is a photo of a photo on the notice board near the extant lych-gate. This photo © Howard Richter (2013). The same notice board also has a list of incumbents, and a little history, from which - the church was built in 1851, and demolished in 1978. The graveyard within which the church stood is still in use - this view is taken looking along the north wall of the graveyard, and the church would have stood between here and the lych-gate in the background, long axis parallel with the wall.

The building probably dates from the 1896 (evidence from extremely worn date-stones - example). It certainly existed by 1905, when it shows on a map of that year, but not on the earlier edition of 1890-3, which does show an earlier chapel nearby - this doesn't seem to have survived. This chapel was home to the congregation of St. John after it was demolished, but the chapel was sold in 1993. © Howard Richter (2013).

The cemetery to the west of the church has a Nonconformist Mortuary Chapel. Another view. It pre-dates a 1892 map surveyed in 1890. SE 3628 0756. Both © David Regan (2022). The Methodist Church stands on High Street and Well Lane. SE 3641 0797. © David Regan (2022). Link1. Link2 dates it to 1963, successor to Ebenezer Chapel. This may have been the Wesleyan Chapel marked on O.S. maps where High Street merged into Well Lane (now Spring Gardens). Unfortunately, none of the maps available to me clearly mark which building is intended, and it could have been one which was attached to the eastern side of the United Free Methodist Chapel (see next entry) - 2019 Streetview, or across the road - 2019 Streetview. A United Free Methodist Chapel is marked on a large scale O.S. map of 1892 on High Street at SE 3635 0791. The site is now a car park, seen by Streetview in 2019. There was another chapel in the village, at the northern end of Chapel Street, which ran north from High Street. Methodist New Connexion, it only shows on the earliest map available to me (1892, surveyed 1890). Again, it isn't clear which building is intended, but its site is probably beneath the furthest row of bungalows on Judy Row, or beyond its left hand side, seen in a Streetview of 2009.
Morthen, the former Mission Room. It's dated here to 1885, closing "by the 1970's". A 2009 Streetview provides another view. SK 4764 8935. © David Regan (2022).
Mosborough, Sheffield - see Sheffield.
Moss, the site of a demolished Wesleyan Methodist Chapel, on Trumfleet Lane and Pinfold Lane, now occupied by a house (Chapel Cottage). From map evidence, it was built before 1849/50, when the survey was conducted for the 1854 O.S. map. SE 598 141. It was presumably closed when the nearby successor Wesleyan chapel of circa 1900 was opened, also on Trumfleet Lane. This too has been demolished, or perhaps extensively re-modelled (the pale coloured house) following closure in 1972. SE 598 142. Both © Howard Richter (2014).

This old postcard (from Kevin Gordon's Collection) is clearly marked "Arksey Church", but it bears no similarity to Arksey church in South Yorkshire, and neither he nor I could find another Arksey. That indefatigable detective Janet Gimber has identified the church as St. Mary, Sprotbrough, so this is a faulty postcard. The former St. Edmund on Anchorage Lane was converted from agricultural buildings in the years following WWII. It was originally a mission from the Minster in Doncaster, but in more recent years, it came under St. Mary. It was closed in 2009. SE 5623 0393. © Howard Richter (2012). Grade II listed.

Swallownest, the Baptist Church stands on Worksop Road and Eden Grove, and has a date-stone for 1908. SK 4558 8539. The church website history page says that the first chapel on the site was built in 1877. Old maps show that the first chapel stood a little further back from the main road, roughly where the green gabled building is now.

Warmsworth, St. Peter (1939-42). SE 553 007. © Bill Henderson. Grade II listing, which says that the church was built with the proceeds of the sale of an earlier "Victorian" church. This was at SE 5511 0123, and a "Streetview" shows the site with gravestones. In fact, as Howard Richter points out, although the previous church was indeed Victorian, or perhaps a little earlier, it had succeeded a medieval one, as registers commence in 1594, and the record of rectors commences in 1225. A directory of 1889 mentions it as a "modern" building, and says that there were building works in early 18th century, and on several occasions in the 19th. As the "Victorian" church was only demolished in 1946-8, there must be photos or illustrations somewhere. The former Wesleyan Reform Chapel on High Road. It has a foundation stone for 10 July 1937.

David advises that it has a date-stone for 1903, and a foundation stone for 1854. Old maps imply that the 1903 date is correct - is 1854 the date of the congregation or perhaps of an earlier chapel? © David Regan (2021). My appreciation to Rev. Canon Keith Farrow for getting in touch, and advising that 1903 is the correct date, the 1854 stone having been taken from the first Ebenezer Chapel, which stood on Ebenezer Square. Ebenezer Square no longer exists, and no available maps show the old chapel. It will have stood somewhere about SE 3612 0394, in the area of housing bounded by High Street, George Street, and Pantry Well. A Methodist Chapel (originally Primitive) shows on older O.S. maps, on Green Street, at SE 3608 0406. It site was seen on by Streetview in 2012. It's dated here to 1871-1986.
