Limpley Stoke

[4] A small Baptist chapel was built on Middle Stoke in 1815 and rebuilt in 1888, providing 150 seats.

The school closed in 1932 owing to low pupil numbers, and the building is now the village hall.

The previous owners of the mill had originally been timber merchants, but had later diversified into the production of rubber goods.

By 1890 the business had transferred to premises in Melksham, where it became the leading industry of the town; the company later became Avon Rubber.

[14] The Coal Canal closed in 1898 and its route was bought by the GWR, who used it to extend their Bristol and North Somerset Railway from Camerton to Limpley Stoke; this line opened in 1910.

The short west tower was added in the 15th century; restoration in 1870 was of limited scope, leading Pevsner to describe the church as "unrestored".

[18] When a south aisle and vestry were added in 1921 to designs of Charles Nicholson, a Saxon arch was incorporated in the arcade.
