NONCONFORMITY.

There were three women recusants in Churcham parish in 1603, (fn. 63) and 12 nonconformists there in 1676. (fn. 64) Wesleyan Methodists registered a chapel at Birdwood in 1814, (fn. 65) and in 1851 it had a congregation of c. 70. (fn. 66) It remained in regular use in 1970. The chapel, which evidently dates from c. 1814, (fn. 67) is a brick building with stone quoins and has two tiers of round-headed windows with leaded lights; a small brick house for the minister, also with round-headed windows, adjoins it on the west. Unidentified dissenting groups registered a house in the parish in 1817 and at Over in 1835. (fn. 68)
