Note 1: Salem Chapel is not shown on Ordnance Survey (OS) maps published in 1876-81 and 1884, but first appears (as a Calvinistic Methodist Chapel) on the OS 1:2,500 scale map published in 1899. From the plaque shown above, the chapel appears to have changed to an Apostolic Church in 1919, probably in the same building: the chapel footprint is the same on post-1919 maps as on pre-1919 maps.

Note 2: Salem Methodist Chapel was built in 1919, in the Simple Round-Headed style of the gable entry type. The chapel has a pointed headed-porch to the main entrance and a stone inscribed SALEM APOSTOLIC CHURCH 1919. [Source: Coflein online database (NPRN 13716)]
