This is a list of chapels that had been registered by 1867, derived from ‘A list of places of meeting for public religious worship, certified to the Registrar General’. As registration was not compulsory it appears that it only represents half the Bible Christian places of worship in Sussex: all those in the Hastings Mission, in the east of the county are missing, for example. As are Nutbourne and Walberton in the west. We have discovered that the official location may not be the same as the name by which the chapel is commonly described.
Unless otherwise stated each of these places of worship is described as a chapel.
The numbers on the list relate to places, and match those on the map. The base map is provided under this licence

Comments about this page
The chapel at Fisher is consistently recorded in all other sources as an Independent chapel. The return to the 1851 Religious Census (HO129/91/16) is signed by John Leng, who had been a Bible Christian minister from 1838 to 1842, including a year in the Chichester Mission, but returned to Chichester as a chairmaker.
