A request to help identify a photograph of an unknown chapel which turned out to be the United Methodist Free Church in Mapplewell, near Barnsley also revealed a cluster or other sorts of Methodist, all within a short distance of each other.
This includes the former Methodist New Connexion chapel which in 2023 is in use as a business hub. It remains little altered externally.
The Mapplewell.info website tells us that he first place of worship to be erected within the village boundaries was the New Connection Chapel built in Peckett’s Square in 1800. Foster’s Bakery is on the site in 2023.
The chapel on Spark Lane already exists on the 1891 Ordnance Survey map. National Archives tell us it became Providence Methodist church.
