Paul Glazzard on https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Methodist_Church_Burstwick_1.jpg reports: “Primitive Methodist Church at the junction of Station Road and Back Lane, Burstwick. Until recently the church had a spire but this was taken down in December 2007, presumably before it fell down. The wooden framework of the bell tower had been looking a bit tatty for some time, causing the slate roofed spire to lean ever so slightly out over the road.”
