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. The base map is provided under this licence
Use the search box to find out more about a chapel. Two places that were in Wiltshire in 1867, Damerham and Martin, had been transferred to Hampshire by the time the base map was created, so have been listed and mapped under that county. Note also that Alderbury Registration District has been renamed Salisbury.

Comments about this page
Thank you for this information, which alerted me to the fact that there was a typo in my post (now corrected). The chapel was at Damerham, and there is a page for it under Hampshire chapels, with photo. I will add your comment to that page. John Wills was a prolific architect of non-conformist chapels, but Damerham seems to be one of his earlier works.
The Builder, vol. 35, issue 1805, page 920, Sept., 8th., 1877 :
TENDERS.
For Primitive Methodist Chapel, Damesham,* Salisbury.
Mr. John Wills, architect.
Debbin & White ( accepted )……..£240 10 0.
………………………………………………………………………………….
*perhaps a variant scribe or phonetic form, e. g. , Damersham, etc., indeed Salisbury is mentioned, but was the Chapel built; former Wiltshire or Hampshire.
