Primitive Methodist Chapel, Oaksey

In 1812 the dwelling house of John Earl was certified for Methodist worship. Later Methodists from Brinkworth came to the village to encourage residents to become Methodists and they certified a house belonging to William Reynolds for worship in 1838. The growing number of Methodists had a strong presence in the village and at one time outnumbered the people who went to the Church. A chapel in the west of the parish was built in 1842 and in 1851 it was attended by 101 people during afternoon service. The chapel had to be rebuilt in 1874. After World War Two the presence of the Methodists was reduced and the chapel was first used for storing hay (c.1956) before it was turned into a private residence.
