Bodney Primitive Methodist chapel shown in the photograph dates from 1885; it served until the 1978. It borders the Danger Area requisitioned by the M.O.D. in 1944.
By the time of Keith Guyler’s photograph in it was semi-derelict. “Another shore”, Roger Legg’s book of long distance walks, says that in 1991 it was being used to store beds.
On Google Street View in 2009 it is semi derelict and unused. It is very much more overgrown than in the photographs.
What is it like in 2015?

We visited Bodney today, doing some family history research (Oakley Family). Sadly the Chapel is now almost completely covered in Ivy.
My family lived in Bodney. Does anyone know who was the leader of this church over the years?
I was baptised here in 1964, sad to read it is now boarded up and near derelict…..
