The Wesley Methodist Society was formed in Hooley Hill in 1786 by a dissident group of members from the Red Hall Methodist Church, Audenshaw. In 1806 a new purpose built Chapel and Sunday School was built. A large cottage adjacent to the Chapel was converted for school use with the girls taught upstairs and the boys downstairs. A new school building was added in 1855. This building was then replaced in 1901 by the two-storey school which was in use until 1950. The buildings on Guide Lane were closed in 2004. The fellowship joined with Bridge Street United Reformed Church Image Image and Red Hall Methodist Church Image to form Trinity Church Image on Audenshaw Road, Audenshaw.
