Primitive Methodist Chapel

Primitive Methodist Chapel, Church Lane

The original chapel on this site was built in 1849. Its founders mortgaged their own properties to enable the Chapel to be built. This in turn was later enlarged in 1869 and demolished and replaced with the present building in 1892; the new build incorporated a schoolroom.

The Primitive Methodist Chapel became registered to solemnize marriage on 3rd October 1902.

The modern day chapel car park was the original site of three stone and thatch cottages running alongside the Chapel building. The Primitive Methodist Chapel purchased the three cottages in 1908 for £240, the sale documents identify three tenants in the cottages with a rental income of £15 12s 0d per annum. In 1981 planning permission was granted for a car park to be built on the site of the former cottages that had long since been demolished.
