From the Primitive Methodist magazine, December 1861 page 743:-
“BROOMFLEET, NORTH CAVE Circuit. —
Primitive Methodism was introduced into this place eleven years ago, by our esteemed Brother, George Rudd, who went
to reside there. He opened his door for the preachers and preaching, and the services have been conducted iu his barn or kitchen up to April last. When, he having to remove, the society was left without a suitable place in which to worship. Two generous friends gave a piece of land on which to build a chapel. The foundation stone was laid on May 2’Jth, 1861, by Miss M. J. Hodge, of Hull, in the presence of a large concourse of people.
At the opening on Sunday, July 28th, the Rev. H. Woodcock preached two sermons to attentive and overflowing congregations. On Monday evening a public meeting was held, Mr. R. Middlebrook, farmer, in the chair. The collections, &c, amounted to £37 13s. A very gracious heavenly influence pervaded the meetings. We hope that this neat little chapel will be the birth-place of many souls. Our little sanctuary has cost upwards of £120, towards which the sum of £83 16s. o|d. has been raised, including a donation by Miss Hodge f £16. To God be the praise and glory. Amen.
Joseph Gibson.”
Although the chapel, on Main Street, just east of Little Lane is no longer labelled on Ordnance Survey maps from 1969, on Google Street View in 2011 it is in use as a garage. A round headed window, albeit filled in, gives it away.
