This index seeks to catalogue all chapels and churches mentioned in the diaries and related documents with a particular focus on Methodist churches and chapels. It provides links to chapters where the particular chapel or church is mentioned in these notes. Where the chapel or church is mentioned multiple times, the main chapter where details are given is in bold.
Note: In their diaries, particularly the early ones, mum and grandad tended to use the term chapel to refer to the Methodist Church they attended. This was in line with the distinction between non-conformist chapels and the Anglican church at that time. My tendency would be to use chapel and church somewhat interchangeably but I have tried to use the terms as they used them at that time so predominantly referring to chapel. While in later life, mum did refer to attending church, she did not in her early diaries. When she does mention church, it is in the context of the Anglican church. For example, in March 1947, she noted “After that [service at chapel] went to church to see what they did. It was all smoky and noisy”.
