  • Heading north on the A393, take the right fork into Highway Lane. As it becomes Redruth Highway, the Primitive Methodist is on the right.
    It was built in 1835 seating 152 persons with John Richard as its minister. Shown on 1880 maps. Part of Redruth Primitive Methodist Circuit, with the Sunday School built in 1913. Services ceased to be held at the chapel in 1948.
    It is marked as a hall by 1967 and, as above, it then became the home of the local scout group.
