The list of buildings registered for public worship, published in 1867, mentions a Bible Christian chapel in the Williton Registration District. I have been unable to find any other reference to this chapel. Can you help us locate it?

Thank you for clearing up this mystery. We often find that names change, often when different organisations are describing a location.
The present day village of Luxborough in Somerset consists of three hamlets, Churchtown, Kingsbridge and Pool Town. In the early 1800s the largest of the three was Pool Town but since then has much reduced in size.
The 1867 listing of a Bible Christian chapel at Pool Town is the same one later given as Luxborough in the 1940 listings.
The chapel appears on the 1888 OS map and the 1904 OS map as a Bible Christian chapel. This is at modern grid reference SS 984 377. It was situated close to the Royal Oak public house which was on the old maps and which still exists today at postcode TA23 0SH.
I have no date for the building of the chapel. It was later converted to a dwelling but according to recent reports has now been demolished.
