    Default Coneygar Lane Wesleyan Chapel Weymouth

    I am looking for a photo of this chapel as my Gt Gt Grandfather John Edward WARREN was baptised there in 1837. Can anyone help or point me in the right direction? I believe it was demolished in 1867 so the chances are probably slim, but you never know!

    I have had a scout round the interwebby but have not yet stumbled across anything. Perhaps an engraving was done at some point that has not been posted online....

    Meanwhile, it might be a good idea to contact either (or both) the Weymouth Museum or the Dorset History Centre to see if anything has been lodged with them.

    According to the timelines at weymouth-dorset.co.uk/timeline1800-1899.html (put www. in front) and
    weymouth-dorset.co.uk/timeline1900-2006.html (put www. in front) the chapel in Coneygar Lane closed in 1867, but was not demolished until over a century later, in 1974 . . . so there's a good chance there will be photographs of the building.

    That sounds more promising. Fingers crossed.
