Our Lady of Perpetual Succour (R.C.) is in Dramwell Lane. It was seen by Streetview in 2022, and is dated here to 1991, replacement (on the same site?) for one of 1962. An old O.S. map of 1902 marks an earlier R.C. Church on Chapel Lane, off Noble Street, at SJ 5113 2905. An earlier map of 1881 labels it as Chapel (Catholic Apostolic). The building (or its site) hasn't been seen by Streetview. The Methodist Church stands on Aston Street, and was seen by Streetview in 2022. SJ 5156 2903. Link. Directly opposite is a long-disused cemetery, with a Mortuary Chapel, seen by Streetview in 2022. SJ 5158 2897. The Baptist Church on Chapel Street, as seen by Streetview in 2022. Older maps, and its grade II listing, show that this was originally Congregational. SJ 5132 2884. Link. Also on Chapel Street is a former Primitive Methodist Chapel, seen by Streetview in 2022. It's dated here to 1842, where it says it had a predecessor (un-located) on High Street of 1823. Rob Kinnon-Brettle advises that Wem used to have a Salvation Army Corps, on High Street, next door to the fire station, and latterly used by an amateur theatrical group. It was demolished in 1996, and a house built on the site, seen here by Streetview in 2022. A partial view of the S.A. Hall also shows the drama group's A.G.M. in 1951, from Mrs Margaret Simmons's Collection.

Whixall, St. Mary. As Sandy points out, the old gravestones built into the wall suggest that this is a re-build and he supplies a date of 1869. The listed building text says 1867, perhaps meaning the commencement of building work. Interestingly, the listing text says that the old church, which no longer exists, was a quarter of a mile away, so either the gravestones were moved, or the new church was built on a pre-existing graveyard. © Sandy Calder. Grade II listed. Methodist Church at Welsh End, built as Primitive Methodist in 1859. At some point an identical extension was added to the left of this building (not shown), as was a rear extension. © Sandy Calder. The dilapidated former Wesleyan Chapel at Hollinwood. © Sandy Calder.

Wistanswick, U.R.C. This was formerly Congregational. Two additional views - 1, 2. All © Martin Richter (2018). The grade II listing suggests that the building was built in two phases, with "not much time elapsed between each phase". This link says that the building was start
ed in 1802,  and enlarged in the early 1860's.
