• Notes

  A little piece of history It was 1876 and there was no Methodist Chapel in Streethouse. Two men namely Henry Seymour and Charles Mounty thought it was time to make plans towards building a place of worship. They did not have any money, but they knew if they made the first move our God would supply all their needs. They asked a farmer whose farm was just down the road if they could use his barn for some Sunday services and this was the beginning of the Primitive Methodist Worship in Streethouse. There must have been only a few people to start with but when the word spread about the new venture, the membership grew. The members of the new worship group collected one penny a week from the people of Streethouse and over the next 3 years this must have increased and there must have been some welcome donations. In 1879 they had enough money to start building a new Primitive Methodist Chapel. The cost of the building the chapel was ?513 this included ?53 for the plot and ?71 for 60,000 bricks.
