There is another photo here Image Although there was no parish church in Wylam until St Oswin's was built in 1886 Image, the Wesleyans had had a chapel in the village at least half a century earlier and part of the present Methodist Chapel in Chapel Lane is thought to date from 1834. The two date stones on the front of the old chapel building (right), however, record 1873 and 1875. During the 18th century, non-conformists in the village probably worshipped at a meeting place at nearby Horsley, which was visited by John Wesley several times during his trips to Northumberland.
