Upper Stratton Primitive Methodist chapel

Handbook of the Brinkworth and Swindon Centenary District Synod

The souvenir Official Handbook of the Brinkworth and Swindon Centenary District Synod held in 1910 records that:

“An iron structure was erected in 1890 which soon became too small and was sold. A new site was secured and in 1907 the present building erected with sufficient land for a new Church when the opportunity arrives.

Number of sittings: 200

Number of members: 32

Total cost: £497

Present debt: £130″

The opportunity never arose and in July 2012 the land in front of the building is shown as a used car lot (Google street view).   Thechapel is still active as the Church of God of Prophesy.
