Having kindly contributed our June Chapel of the Month, Mr & Mrs Ella (Ray & Marie) recently got in touch to say that they have now restored the 1859 stone plaque on the former Primitive Methodist Chapel, Cumberworth in Lincolnshire, now their lounge. We hope that you enjoy seeing the fruits of their labours – and we congratulate them on their careful guardianship of the former chapel.

Thank you the update.
The 1859 Indenture-Title mentions the Chapel to be also a Sunday School.
How did small Chapels in what was once more rural areas have a thriving regular congregation, indeed one reason being they were built for farming families to be in walking distance and by pony or horse-carriage, etc.; many such Chapels built long before modern transportation. Another reason: “take the faith to the people wherever they may be”.
Kind regards,
Ray &Marie.
