The 1851 Census return tells us the chapel building was erected in 1838. It had attendances of 150 at morning services and and a Sunday school of 80 scholars. The return was completed by the colliery manager, George Orton.

The OS 6″ map 1888 – 1913 shows a methodist chapel in Killingworth, a short walk from the colliery itself.
Map ref NZ28357 71000. The area has been redeveloped and nothing remains.
