Primitive Methodist Church, Mere

The chapel was built in 1846, in local stone, for a congregation of mainly agricultural workers and small tradespeople of the area. A manse for the minister was built in 1852, it later became the caretaker's cottage, and, as numbers steadily increased, a gallery was built in the chapel in 1859. A Sunday School was begun and in 1874 a schoolroom was built behind the chapel. As the congregation flourished new pews and windows were provided in 1877 and in 1903 a new manse was built. After Methodist Union in 1932 the chapel became the Mere Methodist Church, under which heading further information can be found.
