The two Methodist chapels, Gringley

Both belonged to the Primitive Methodist congregation, the newer http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4242532 in the foreground built in 1886 to replace the smaller 1838 chapel beyond http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4242536 , which then became a Sunday School. After the Primitives rejoined the mainstream Methodists in 1932, the chapel continued in use alongside the existing Wesleyan chapel on High Street. The two congregations merged in 1958, using the former Primitive chapel which was in better condition of the pair.
