Description
A Methodist chapel is marked on the 1st edition OS and was built in 1863. It was still present in the 1920s and appears to have gone out of use by the 1950s. It is not identified on the 1975 OS 1:1250 maps. <1>
The Chapel is recorded in the 1947 inventory of Methodist Buildings as they were in 1940. The inventory describes it as a stone-built former Primitive Methodist chapel, consisting of just one room that seated 125 people on forms. The building is not included on the 1954 inventory and may have been demolished by this time. <2>
Note: the mapped polygon has been traced from the 1st edition OS map, and is displaced by up to 10m SW of its true location.
