| hearsay:- |
The Wesleyan Methodist chapel was built 1853, during the great revival of Methodism.
It was built by the quaker mine company who recognised the strength of the methodist
movement. An itinerant preacher Adam Dodds is said to be the A.D. on the plaque! |
|
| BUT |
||
| This doesn't seem to agree with the plaque found. There was another methodist chapel,
primitive methodist, on the road to Whitehall which we haven't seen. |
