Categories Mapping Methodism0 Comments
St Agnes is a village on the north coast of Cornwall. This profile of St Agnes Quay or Trevaunance Coombe Wesleyan Chapel has been compiled by Clive Benney & Tony Mansell.
Unknown build date.
Very small wayside Wesleyan chapel, now converted to house. Unusually small early or mid C19 vernacular example. Killas rubble walls with brick arches, probably originally limewashed; hipped roof. Each side wall has 2 window openings; 12-pane sashes; rubble forecourt walls. Part of a good group of historic buildings. (Cornwall Heritage Gateway)
1865: Quay Chapel appears on the Preachers’ Plan.
Referred to as Trevaunance Coombe Chapel (perhaps they were not the same building).
1880: Appears on the Ordnance Survey map.
1920 or earlier: Chapel closed.
1920: St Agnes Wesleyan Society payments for ground rent and cleaning costs ended. but the payments ended in 1920 suggesting that it had ceased to be used for worship by then or even earlier.
1920 – March: George Higgins received four shillings (20p) for removing the seats and taking them to Goonown Schoolroom.
