Primitive Methodist Chapel, Wilton

In 1821 the house of William Sanger, a 'Tent' Methodist then preaching in Salisbury, was licensed for Primitive Methodist worship. By 1829 there was a regular congregation of 40 members. In 1837 a new chapel with 113 free and 50 other seats was opened in West Street. In the 1851 religious census the attendance was 32 for morning service, 48 for the afternoon and 69 in the evening, with 16 children at Sunday School. In 1875 a new chapel, with seating for 150, was opened in Kingsbury Square and the old one closed. After the closure of the Wesleyan Methodist chapel by 1936 the Kingsbury Square chapel became the Methodist Church in Wilton. The building later became St. Edith's Roman Catholic Church and now also accommodates the Methodists and the United Reform Church.
