Ruddington Methodist Chapel, Church Street, built in 1874 to replace the former smaller premises on chapel Street.

"Hugh Bourne preached in Ruddington in 1818, and by the early 1820s a group of Primitive Methodists were meeting at a house on Church Street belonging to John Blood.

In 1828 they acquired land in what was to become known as Chapel Street, and on 22 February 1829 opened their first chapel. It measured 10 yards by eight, had a gallery at the east end, and cost £200. It could allegedly seat 300 people!"
