Report - Woodhouse Wesleyan chapel - Aug 21

[Bikin Glynn]

Trinity Methodist

Iv done a lot of churches / chapels, I mean seriously 50+ but still haven't got "that shot" u know everything symmetrical, so here's my best shot
Anyway just flicking through folders & this is one that's been covered a fair but but I haven't posted so here's my take.

This Chapel was designed by George B. Ford of Burslem, and built on Chapel Street in 1878, when it was known as Wesley chapel. It is now known as Trinity Methodist Church.
At the time of the 1940 Statistical Returns, it could seat 450.
The chapel is now a listed building which probably explains why nothing has happened with it.

Cant find much else about this place but it is rather nice with some glorious woodwork, so heres the pics.

That will do from here.

It's trashed mate, nearly all the windows have no glass and boarded, there was a hole in the roof also that was repaired a month back now and it's made a fair bit of water damage inside..

You been in recently then? By trashed do you mean natural damage? Coz it’s usually sealed or not easy to get into.

Last time I was inside was about 8 months back helping with the boarding up and screwing shut of windows, I live just round the corner from it.. A local group also have started to clear the grounds to try and make it look a little more presentable..

Thats crazy usual story though as soon as a place gets out.
