Farmborough Zion Primitive Methodist chapel

The 1940  Inventory of Methodist Buildings contains an entry for Farmborough Zion  chapel.  It is described as stone built, with seating for 250on pews.  In addition to the main hall there was a Sunday school room and one other room.  In 1940 it was in the Radstock Circuit.

The chapel was built as a Methodist Free Church before becoming one of the founding groups in the United Methodist church in 1907. In 2024 it still carries its carved stone label, but the date is not clear enough to read on Street View.

Bristol Archive index tells us that the chapel was “erected in 1895 and now closed, replacing the Primitive Methodist Chapel on that site which was built in 1866 and was later used as the local bakery”
