Full Description
'Nonconformist Chapel' shown on the 1st Edition Ordnance Survey map. [1] 'Bible Christian Chapel' shown on Ordnance Survey map of c1904. [2] Building still apparent on recent map, presuambly now converted to a private dwelling. [3,4] The building mentioned by source [4] is located at ST 03026 38177; however, this seems to be a single-storey sandstone barn with a flat roof and associated with the Inn. Further study of maps [1] and [2] suggest that the chapel was actually at ST 0309 3818, where a ruinous building of a much greater height now stands. This building is of slate rubble and its outline is shown on the 2013 MasterMap data. [5,6] A new Bible Christian (now United Methodist) chapel was opened in Roadwater in 1907. It may or may not have replaced this building. [7]
