Methodists, Idmiston

Two different groups licensed houses for meetings in the early 19th century, that of James Thomas in 1807 and the house of Stephen 'Zellwood' in 1809. In 1820 a building, the property of farmer Israel Sillwood, was licensed for worship but the congregation did not become large enough to build a chapel, although a chapel was built in 1810 at Shripple, now in Winterbourne parish.
