Non-conformists, Great Hinton
In May 1797 the house and court in front of the house then inhabited by John Kemp was licensed for Methodist meetings. In 1816 a building occupied by Mary Sims and Jane Shapman was also licensed, possibly for Independents and in 1814 and 1822 two houses were licensed, possibly for Methodists.
By 1851 two congregations met in the village and there existed a room that could accommodate 100 people; however the average that attended the meetings was about 20.
Primitive Methodists were known to meet in an unoccupied cottage and both the Wesleyans in 1864 and the Primitive Methodists in 1859 built small chapels; one was still in use in 1961.
