Pleasley Hill United Methodist Free Church Chapel was built of stone in 1862 at a cost of £200. A chapel vestibule, cellar, and schoolroom were added in 1904 at a further cost of £1300. A pipe organ was acquired in 1911 for £30. The chapel seated 150 in 1924 but no figure was reported for the school. In 1940 the estate consisted of a chapel which seated 200 in pews, and two other rooms. The chapel appears to have been closed by 1970

We are very pleased to now have a photograph of this chapel, kindly supplied by Adrian Gray. Whilst one form of Methodist worship may have ceased, it is good to see that the building continued in use for the provision of teas.
If you have one that would be very useful. Thank you.
