Dissenters in the village used to have to use homes or inadequate meeting rooms, along with having to be granted a licence to do so. A Wesleyan church was built in 1835 (now demolished but recalled in the modern Wesley Close) and this Primitive chapel came along in 1877. The founding was on a site granted by a Mr W. Walwin and the designers and builders were Ashman and Son, of Leigh on Mendip. The cost was £235.
