Full Description
The Methodists have a neat stone chapel at Denby, erected in 1841, at a cost of £700. It will seat 400 persons. (1)
There is a Wesleyan Methodist Chapel situated here on the 1st edition 25" OS map of c. 1880. (2)
The Wesleyan Methodist Chapel opposite Copper Yard was built by Joseph Bourne, a local potter. There is a gablet in the gable of the chapel that was originally inscribed: 'WESLEYAN CHAPEL ANNO 1841'. The society supported the Methodist Reform movement in 1850. (3)
The chapel is still standing, but is no longer in use as a place of worship [2011]. (4-5)
