So if interest is paid in March this tax year and presumably again in March next tax year I am not fully clear what the benefit would be between monthly or annual interest? 

I go for monthly interest for easy access accounts because if I move all the money to a higher rated account, then I can move the accrued interest without closing the account.

If you have a load of yearly interest accounts with different providers then you can get a position where they pay out in years that aren't beneficial to you due to differences in T&C, it's just better to avoid them where possible.

Existing savings - of course I've just closed the EA as it was minimum £500 and transferred the ISA to Coventry!

Though if you are an existing customer and live outside the stated geographic area, Chorley's online application form will throw a wobbly..

Would it work to open two savings accounts with Chorley - a less attractive one first, and then the 5.3% Loyalty Easy Access Saver?

It worked for me with a different BS, so for £1 it's worth a try.
