MethodistDuring the 19th century, Methodist chapels sprang up around the dale, a reflection of local zeal, the separation of the circuits with the advent of the Primitive Methodists and difficult transport. With the merger of the Wesleyan and Primitive circuits in 1933, better transport and reduced church attendance, there has been an inevitable concentration of resources. The following is divided into two sections, currently active chapels and redundant chapels, now used for other purposes or demolished . |
