This is a list of chapels that had been registered by 1867, derived from ‘A list of places of meeting for public religious worship, certified to the Registrar General’. Remember that registration was not compulsory. As registration was valid until cancelled, however, there may be duplication: i.e. both the old and new chapels in a place may be listed. We have also discovered that the official location may not be the same as the name by which the chapel is commonly described.
Unless otherwise stated each of these places of worship is described as a chapel.
The chapels in Devon were part of the Devonport and Exeter Districts, and for information about their capacity, go to The Returns of accommodation of 1873
The map showing locations of chapels is part of Plate 5 of The Wesleyan Methodist Atlas
There are too many chapels to show on a detailed map, but the registration districts are shown on the base map, which is provided under this licence
