Default Image Place of Worship has been Demolished.

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 We don't know when this Place of Worship was founded, and it has since been demolished, but we don't know when. This Chapel was shown on Old Maps of the late 19th century attached to, or associated with the former Union Workhouse Building, which later became known as Laburnum House. The chapel was directly opposite to the plot occupied by a Cemetery extension, to the south of, and adjacent to the original Cemetery plot, in Rectory Road. Though it was still marked with a '+' on my OS Map of 1980, it is not clear now whether either the Chapel, or the Workhouse building are still standing. Denomination Now or formerly Hospital Chapel. If more than one congregation has worshipped here, or its congregation has united with others, in most cases this will record its original dedication. Maps This Chapel was located at OS grid reference SO8551140031. You can see this on various mapping systems.

Search Tips:

You can specify either a Place, or OS Grid Reference to search for. When you specify a Place, only entries for that place will be returned, with Places of Worship listed in alphabetical order. If you specify a Grid Reference, Places of Worship in the immediate vicinity will be listed, in order of distance from the Grid Reference supplied. The default is to list 10, but you can specify How Many you want to see, up to a maximum of 100.

You can further refine your search by supplying other search terms.

• You can specify entries with ('Yes') or without ('No') photographs.
• You can specify a church or chapel's Dedication, to restrict entries to those containing the term you supply as a dedication. So for instance, 'John' would return 'St John', 'St Mary and St John', 'St John the Divine' &c.
• You can specify a Street address, and likewise 'George' will return George Place, St George's Street, George and Dragon, &c.
• You can restrict the search to classes of Denomination. The exact denomination is always shown in the results, although the search is for broad types. Thus you can search for 'Methodist', but not 'Wesleyan Methodist' or 'Primitive Methodist'. 'Multi-denominational' includes Ecumenical Partnerships, and 'Miscellaneous' means anything not covered by other broad classes.
