Strict Baptist (former), Froghall Lane, Walkern.
This is an empty plot in a dead road off the main street in Walkern. I assume this is the site of the Strict Baptist chapel as it is edged by damaged and decaying gravestones and the chapel was in this lane. I do not know when it closed or was demolished, its available registers go from 1862 to 1937.
