Old Chapel
Located at Horsey Corner, the first Methodist
Chapel was built by William JOHNSON on his own land, in 1870. This was in use until 1909, when the property had to
be sold, following his death. The original building fell down a few years later.
Helped by George ENGLISH, £95 was raised to build
another Chapel. The brick and slate cost £100. The new, one-roomed Chapel was opened in September 1910, and by 1912
all debts had been paid.
By 1958 the Chapel was too small and a new Chapel
had been built next to the Playing Field.
The Old Chapel was purchased by Mr E. KING, who
extended and converted it into 2 houses for farm workers. Later, bedrooms were put into the roofspace, a garage
added, and finally made into one house.
In recent years The Old Chapel has been used as a
Bed and Breakfast establishment.
