Editorial note. This return is transcribed on The National Archives Discovery catalogue as being for a chapel at Penshaw, and by others as being at Fence Row, Penshaw. The handwritten return is not easy to read, but all Methodist sources, and the Ordnance Survey, locate this chapel at Shiney Row, a colliery settlement within the parish of Penshaw (Painshaw)
