Bere regis Methodist Chapel, 1890

This fine photograph, taken shortly after completion of the replacement building, was made from a 6.5" x 4.75" glass plate. In 1931 a schoolroom was added at the other, East, end, but in April 1962 the building was sold to a Builders Firm for use as a carpentry workshop. During the 1960s and 1970s the walls were adorned with many pictures and illustrations that the original purpose of the building would not have envisaged. Demolition finally came in the late 1980s to make way for new building developments and housing.
