Notes

The return to the Bishop’s Visitation Queries in 1783 stated that there were no Non Conformists in the parish. A house was first licensed for dissenters’ meetings in 1824. In 1864 Primitive Methodists were meeting in a cottage; many members of the congregation also attended the parish church. There were two services each Sunday and one during the week in the 1880s. A small brick chapel, built between 1900 and 1904, fell into disuse in the 1950s and was sold in 1960.
