Those ministers who refused to sign up to its provisions were ejected from their livings on 24 August 1662 and they and their followers became known as nonconformists.<\/p><p>In Leicestershire, around a quarter of all ministers left or were ejected that summer.<\/p><p>As a direct result of their stance, Leicestershire has some fine nonconformist churches and chapels. Unfortunately, their future is uncertain, as some congregations move away or otherwise decline.<\/p><p>Our Protestant Nonconformity project has two aims:<\/p><ul><li>to build a photographic record of all the nonconformist chapels and churches in Leicestershire, as they are today (whether open for worship, closed or converted to some other use). We owe it to future generations to leave this record.<\/li><li>to compile a brief summary of Leicestershire\u2019s nonconformist churches, chapels and their congregations in the 19th and 20th centuries, to accompany the photographic record and as a step towards the completion of a full history of each town and village, which will be published as part of the Leicestershire VCH series<\/li><\/ul><p>The information available on this website is very much a work-in-progress. We are very grateful to the volunteers who have helped us to get this far, and hope that they and others will come with us on the next stage of our journey. The summaries we currently provide are based on sources including trade directories, the 1829 meeting house returns, the 1851 ecclesiastical census, ordnance survey maps and date stones on the buildings themselves.<\/p><p>The next stage will be to add information from other sources, including those from the 17th and 18th centuries, such as the returns collected in 1669 and 1676, meeting house registrations and licences, and information from Anglican visitation returns. We have started to do this for some entries.<\/p><p>When all the information is assembled, a fuller potted history will be produced and made available on the VCH Explore website. In due course, as the VCH project reaches each parish, this information will form part of the religious history section of a published parish entry for the Victoria County History.<\/p><p>Roman Catholic churches built\u00a0after 1540 are not included within the scope of this project, but if you are interested in the history and\/or architecture of these churches there is a good website available on the Catholic\u00a0churches of England and Wales, called<a href=\"http:\/\/taking-stock.org.uk\/Home\"> Taking Stock <\/a>(note that Leicestershire is in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Nottingham).<\/p><p>Find out <a title=\"Help us to Research Leicestershire\u2019s History\" href=\"http:\/\/leicestershirehistory.co.uk\/?page_id=460\">how you can help <\/a>with this project<\/p><p>You can search the work which has been done to date in two ways:<\/p><ul><li><strong>By using our <a title=\"Nonconformist Churches and Chapels: Interactive Map\" href=\"http:\/\/leicestershirehistory.co.uk\/?page_id=1599\">interactive map<\/a><\/strong><\/li><li><strong>By the town or village name: click on the red links in the alphabet strip below<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><h3>\u00a0<\/h3><table style=\"width: 429px;\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\"><colgroup> <col span=\"13\" width=\"33\" \/><\/colgroup><tbody><tr><td width=\"33\" height=\"26\"><a href=\"#a\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">A<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/td><td width=\"33\"><a href=\"#b\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">B<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/td><td width=\"33\"><a href=\"#c\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">C<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/td><td width=\"33\"><a href=\"#d\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">D<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/td><td width=\"33\"><a href=\"#e\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">E<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/td><td width=\"33\"><a href=\"#f\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">F<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/td><td width=\"33\"><a href=\"#g\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">G<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/td><td width=\"33\"><a href=\"#h\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">H<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/td><td width=\"33\"><a href=\"#I\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">I<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/td><td width=\"33\"><a href=\"#j\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">J<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/td><td width=\"33\"><a href=\"#k\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">K<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/td><td width=\"33\"><a href=\"#l\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">L<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/td><td width=\"33\"><a href=\"#m\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">M<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><table style=\"width: 429px;\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\"><colgroup> <col span=\"13\" width=\"33\" \/><\/colgroup><tbody><tr><td width=\"33\" height=\"26\"><a href=\"#n\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">N<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/td><td width=\"33\"><a href=\"#o\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">O<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/td><td width=\"33\"><a href=\"#p\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">P<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/td><td width=\"33\"><a href=\"#q\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Q<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/td><td width=\"33\"><a href=\"#r\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">R<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/td><td width=\"33\"><a href=\"#s\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">S<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/td><td width=\"33\"><a href=\"#t\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">T<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/td><td width=\"33\"><a href=\"#u\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">U<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/td><td width=\"33\"><a href=\"#v\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">V<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/td><td width=\"33\"><a href=\"#w\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">W<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/td><td width=\"33\"><a href=\"#x\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">X<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/td><td width=\"33\"><a href=\"#y\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Y<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/td><td width=\"33\"><a href=\"#z\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Z<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><h3>\u00a0<\/h3><h3 id=\"a\">A<\/h3><p><a title=\"Protestant Nonconformity in Ab Kettleby and Holwell\" href=\"http:\/\/leicestershirehistory.co.uk\/?page_id=2595\">Ab Kettleby<\/a><\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/leicestershirehistory.co.uk\/?page_id=4870\">Acresford<\/a><\/p><p><a title=\"Protestant nonconformity in Ashby Woulds (Moira and Albert Village)\" href=\"http:\/\/leicestershirehistory.co.uk\/?page_id=1813\">Albert Village<\/a><\/p><p>Allexton &#8211;
