Cemeteries

We believe the Chapel did NOT have a graveyard.

Note: any church within an urban environment may have had its graveyard closed after the Burial Act of 1853. Any new church built after that is unlikely to have had a graveyard at all.

Church History

This Place of Worship was founded before 1903, though it is now closed, but we don't yet know when.

This Chapel was first noted whilst searching Old Maps for locations of Chapels in Alveston. It is best seen on OS 1903 1:2,500, labelled as "Ebenezer Chapel (Prim. Meth)", but its date of foundation, and its closure, are unknown. It is now called "Chapel Cottage", according to Google Maps, and presumably a private residence, though definitely still identifiable as a former chapel. It has a pair of lancet windows on either side of the entrance porch at the front, two in either side of the building, and a further central lancet over the entrance porch. Above the latter is what appears to be a date plaque, but unfortunately, it is no longer readable.

According to Kelly's Directory of 1923, Rudgeway was partly in Alveston parish, and partly in Olveston.

Denomination

Now or formerly Primitive Methodist.

If more than one congregation has worshipped here, or its congregation has united with others, in most cases this will record its original dedication.
