SOUTH NEWINGTON - PRIMITIVE METHODIST

Scope and Content

William Taylor's house was registered in 1822 perhaps for Wesleyan methodists. In 1847 the Wesleyans had a small chapel, presumably the Friends' meeting house, which had been leased to them. From 1857 the congregation was said to be Primitive methodists and a small red brick primitive methodist chapel was built in 1875. This chapel closed in 1939.
