Presumably this would be down in the old village along the lane from the Golden Lion. Do you know if there was a purpose-built chapel?

Brian: My quote was from Rev Johnson Bailey's paper "Book of Easter Offerings, Small Tithes and Outen Tithes of Ryton" in Archaeologia Aeliana, 2nd series, Vol 19 (1898). In that, Bailey comments upon the old custom of distributing tokens as receipts for Easter Offerings, those tokens to be handed in when the people took their Easter Communion. During the 1590s he lists how many communicants there were, as he went around his considerably-sized parish day by day in Easter week. The list for 1595 includes "Wedinsday - At Cuthbart Swinburns xiiij Com'unicants. Att Winlawton milne ix Com'unicants. At John Greenwell's viii Com'unicants. At Thom's Holydaies v Com'unicants" These were all in one day, so we must suppose that the named people lived other than at Winlaton Mill. On the one hand, as there is no record of a chapel at Winlaton Mill (a fulling mill before Crowley's arrival a century later), but on the other, the names in this list seem to imply that the services referred to would be house meetings.
