Full Description
The 1st ed. 25" OS map c.1880 shows a Wesleyan Chapel on Common Piece Lane, Findern. (1) The chapel is still in use at the beginning of the 20th century. (2, 3)
A Wesleyan Chapel was erected in Findern in 1835. (4)
The Methodists originally worshiped in a hovel on Lower Green, known as Bumpton until 1835. Mrs Clarke gave £100 to purchase some land which was part of a field called 'Cow Pasture' in Town Street (now Common Piece Lane). The chapel was built for £139 and opened with tea on Good Friday in 1835. (5)
Examination of modern maps indicate the building is still standing although its current use is not clear [2009]. (6)
