North Cerney Primitive Methodist chapel
Keith Guyler 1990
The notes with Keith Guyler’s pictures say North Cerney Primitive Methodist chapel was opened in 1881 and is still open.
However, the Primitive Methodist magazine of 1891 reports that the North Cerney society were in the process of building themselves a chapel. For years “the influence of clergyman and squire were dreaded by the cottagers” and prevented them finding a site – a common be rural Prim societies.

North Cerney Methodist Church Closure
Due to regular flooding of the church hall coupled with increasing repair costs, the building of North Cerney Methodist Church closes as a place of worship, after the evening service on Sunday 1st February 2015 at 6 pm.
Opened in 1881 in the Primitive Methodist tradition, today around twelve people regularly attend the church. After closure, they will meet monthly as a House Group of Bethesda Methodist Church, Cheltenham. Please hold them all in your prayers throughout this period of transition and give thanks for all the years of service and witness from the people called Methodist in North Cerney. (From the Bethesda Methodist Church noticesheet.)
