Sixhills United Methodist Free Church
Sixhills (Six Hills) is a village in the Lincolnshire Wolds, close to the town of Market Rasen.
Built of red brick with gault brick dressings, this small chapel, erected in 1886 as United Methodist Free, had seating for sixty. A lean-to Sunday school at the rear, and a rendered porch to the side, may have been later additions.
There is evidence that the Free Methodists were active here at least twelve years before the chapel was built. There does not appear to have been a Wesleyan chapel in this place
The building was registered for marriages on 19th October 1899.
It became United Methodist in 1907 and was a member of the Market Rasen UMF/UM circuits, and Market Rasen & Caistor Methodist circuit from 1933.
Closing in 1961, it is presently boarded-up and overgrown.
