"Like many other English towns and villages, Thringstone once had two Methodist Societies, each with its own chapel. The Wesleyan Methodist chapel stood on Main Street and is now a fitness centre. The Primitive Methodist chapel stood almost opposite, on Loughborough Road, and is now known as Thringstone Methodist Church. The two Societies, Wesleyan and Primitive, united nationally in 1932, after which time the chapels at Thringstone became known respectively as the Main Street and Loughborough Road Methodist Churches. The two finally amalgamated in about 1964, at which time the Main Street property was sold off for industrial use."
