SK 4819 9147. © David Regan (2021). This source mentions a private house, licensed for protestant dissenter worship in 1806 (and hence a possible predecessor for the Wesleyan Chapel), at 35 Morthen Road. The Round Houses, as they are known locally, can be seen on a Streetview of 2019, though I can't determine which of the two houses is the one referred to. The Methodist Church is on Bawtry Road, on the site of a Primitive Methodist predecessor (although it stood closer to the road), dated to 1879 here. © David Regan (2021). Link.

Widcombe, Bath, Somerset - see Bath.
Widdale, North Yorkshire, the former Methodist Chapel. The date-stone shows 1856, which date is confirmed as building rather than enlargement by the fact that the 1856 O.S. map doesn't show a building on the site. The history recounted by various websites show that it was for many years a school (since before the 1913-16 O.S. map, anyway), and continued as such until it was closed, in the very early 1930's. The O.S. map of 1979 marks it as Chapel. The church only rented a room, never owning it outright. It continued as a place of worship until 1994, at which time the building was auctioned off. Various attempts have been made since to convert it to residential use, but even as late as 2016 conversion work remains unfinished. Two additional views - 1, 2. SD 8265 8784.

Old O.S. maps show an otherwise unidentified Chap. at the junction of High Street and Buddell's Lane, at TF 9407 3972. A 2021 Streetview reveals it to have been Primitive Methodist, dated 1874. This source says that there had been a predecessor of 1862, and that it was still open (presumably as Methodist) in 2015, but had later closed. Less that half a mile south O.S. maps show Chapel (Remains of) at TF 9421 3905. This source says that the identification of the remains with a chapel is tentative. There is an aerial photo, but the site hasn't been seen by Streetview.

A former Methodist Chapel (originally Primitive Methodist) stands on Broad Street. SO 4143 6894. © Chris Kippin (2023). Grade II listed. Its My Primitive Methodists entry dates it to 1863. The same website also has an entry (includes photos) for an earlier P.M. chapel on Castle Street, which it says is probably an originally Independent Chapel of 1847, P.M. from 1854. Streetview saw it in 2011, as Chapel Cottage. SO 4136 6904.

Chap. on a O.S. map of 1956, it isn't labelled on the map of 1973, so had presumably closed by then. © David Regan (2020). A Primitive Methodist Chapel once stood on Wigtoft Bank (a little less than a mile to the S.W. of the village), at TF 2504 3552. Its site can be seen here on a 2009 Streetview, roughly opposite the house. Its My Primitive Methodists entry dates it to 1839, with demolition "before 1977". Note that the map therein is inaccurate.

Wildmoor, Worcestershire, the former Jubilee Primitive Methodist Chapel on Top Road. The date-stone is for 1893. © Peter Morgan (2023). This source says that it closed in 2008, and that the congregation had previously met in a former Wesleyan Chapel. It's likely to be the Methodist Chapel marked on a map of 1883 on Middle Road at SO 9613 7592. The house at right in this 2022 Streetview has a plaque saying "Chapel Cottage". Whether anything of the chapel survives is unclear.

Older O.S. maps show two Baptist Chapels. Tabernacle has been replaced by a more recent chapel on the same site, on the B1050, just west of the parish church, at TL 4036 7050. Streetview saw it in 2023, and Tabernacle stood a little further back from the road. An old photo of Tabernacle can be seen here. The other Baptist Chapel stood a little further north, on the opposite side of the same street, at TL 4037 7054. A photo of it can  be seen here, and a 2023 Streetview shows the site today. Both Baptist Chapels pre-date a map of 1887, where both are labelled as Particular Baptist. A Salvation Army Hall is marked on the Streetview map as "permanently closed".

Wilmingon, East Sussex, St. Mary and St. Peter. Founded circa 1000 A.D., the first church was replaced by the present one in the twelfth century, the chancel of which served as the church for the monks of the priory. Two further views - 1, 2, the interior, altar, pulpit and tester, and the font. The modern window by Paul San Casciani incorporates some glass from one destroyed in a fire in 2002, as well as a phoenix rising from the ashes. He also designed the Millenium window. An early and rather crude carving is built into the chancel wall. Removed here from the outside wall of the church, it has been plausibly suggested that it represents the Madonna and child, but see also link1.

Its Genuki entry calls it Wesleyan Reform, and dates it to 1842 to "before 1952". The building seen here on a Streetview from 2009 stands on the site - does anything of the chapel survive?

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.
