[Former] Methodist Chapel - Church Street - Willingham, Cambridgeshire - Methodist Churches on Waymarking.com

A former Wesleyan / Methodist chapel on Church Street, Willingham. The Church closed in 2000, and was converted to a house.

"In 1807 a single Methodist was noted. The Primitive Methodists of Cambridge resolved to send their preacher in 1823 and in 1860 the parish was included in a newly created circuit branch served by a minister who lived in St. Ives. In 1861 the Primitives had a chapel in Church Street, which evidently closed in 1865. The Wesleyans had established a preaching place by 1836, probably in a barn registered for worship in 1835. Their chapel was attended by between 65 and 107 adults at each of the three services on Census Sunday 1851. In 1852 a new chapel was opened, a plain yellow-brick box facing the green with sash windows and seating for 158; it was still used for worship in 1982. At first in the Cambridge circuit, it was attached in 1877 to the new Cottenham circuit, which was reunited with Cambridge in 1952"
