The former Baptist Church (1801). When Richard visited, most of the site was hidden by tall fencing, the church having closed in 2016, and the site earmarked for a housing development. The church is shown on a map of 1886 as Baptist Chapel (General). Richard's photo shows a later extension, dating from the 1990's. The congregation is now meeting in Fakenham College Conference Hall, on a temporary basis, while their new church is being built on land off Clipbush Lane (circa TF 935 308).

Methodist Church. TF 917 297. © Steve Bulman (2005). Richard Roberts has advised that this was originally Buckenham Memorial Primitive Methodist Chapel (1908), and that it closed in 2016 and is being converted to residential use. He has sent an up-to-date photograph, and another of the preceding P.M. chapel (1861) immediately adjacent, this also now in residential use.  Both © Richard Roberts (2019).
