Mill Hey Methodist Chapel

The growth of the Methodist movement in the early nineteenth century saw a blossoming of chapels and Sunday schools in the Upper Worth Valley. The Methodist Chapel on Mill Hey was built by the Primitive Methodists, a more politically radical branch than the Wesleyan Methodists. They began meeting in a cottage in Mill Hill in 1820 and opened the chapel with Sunday school in 1836. As congregations began to fall in the twentieth century the Methodist chapels in the area were rationalised, bringing congregations together under one roof. The Mill Hey Chapel was closed in 1954.
