Transfer Request North Street Wesleyan Church 1
Application to Wesleyan HQ for North Street church to sell old building and build a bigger new one.
By the 1913 the decision had been taken to sell the old chapel which was “no longer suitable” and there was the “necessity of providing a more commodious building”. The average attendance at services was then 250 people, there being 141 members and the chapel could seat 350 so there were evidently plans to proselytise and greatly increase the number of the congregation. It was hoped that the old building would fetch £500 or £600.
At the same time application was made to erect a new chapel. It was hoped that it would accommodate 660 and the site had already been secured; it measured 70 feet by 80 feet and, at that time, contained six cottages. The new chapel was intended to measure 69 feet long by 48 feet wide. It was expected to cost £3,530.
