Mapping Methodism – Carlidnack Bible Christian Chapel

Carlidnack is a hamlet in the parish of Mawnan, 2.7 miles south-west of Falmouth on a road leading north-east from Mawnan Smith. This profile of Carlidnack Bible Christan Chapel has been compiled by Jo Lewis and Tony Mansell.

 

There are Sunday school records from 1888 so this may be the original date for both.

First indicated on 1907 maps as a Bible Christian chapel on the west side of the Carlidnack road through Carlidnack, at the junction with Chapel Town Close. The Sunday school is marked further north on the other side of the road and may have been the previous chapel, but this is, as yet, unconfirmed.
