Methodist Chapel, West Dean

A Meeting House Certificate was first issued to a house in West Dean in 1825. However, it was not until c.1870 that a Wesleyan Methodist Chapel was built. Very little is known about the history of this chapel but continued to flourish well into the 20th century. The one surviving minute book notes that the congregation first began to think about the future of the chapel in 1970. This was presumably due to falling numbers. The chapel closed and was sold in 1971.
