Could you please tell me if there is an image of the chapel at Chawley on the cd ?
Roger Thorne has provided the following answer:
Chawleigh BC Chapel is included on the CD, but is unrecognisable as a cottage, which has been extended. “Chawley” is vernacular, but such usages survive quite widely in my native land. Holmacote Chapel, now closed, is also included but is referred as “Hummacott”.
Hi ,we currently live in the original chapel, now named Chapel Cottage and is unrecognizable as a chapel from the front. The more chapel looking church further up the road was built sometime later when numbers increased. This is called the “Old Chapel”.
Trust this helps?
