chapels registered before 1867

Location of Primitive Methodist chapels in Kent 1867
This work incorporates historical material provided by the Great Britain Historical GIS Project and the University of Portsmouth through their web site A Vision of Britain through Time (https://www.VisionofBritain.org.uk).

This is a list of chapels that had been registered by 1867, derived from ‘A list of places of meeting for public religious worship, certified to the Registrar General’.  Remember that registration was not compulsory. As registration was valid until cancelled, however, there may be duplication: i.e.  both the old and new chapels in a place may be listed. We have also discovered that the official location may not be the same as the name by which the chapel is commonly described.

Unless otherwise stated each of these places of worship is described as a chapel.

The numbers on the list relate to places, and match those on the map. In the case of Home Street (13) this can only be indicative, as no information about this chapel has been located. The base map is provided under this licence

Comments about this page

  • Home Street is an error by the Registrar General. The building was actually in Herne Street, Herne. This village is near the north coast.
