In the Primitive Methodist magazine of November 1860 John Webster tells us about the opening of Haslington Primitive Methodist chapel.

Haslington. — Our people have long laboured in this village, but our progress has been retarded for want of a better place in which to conduct, our services. For many years a suitable plot of land could not be obtained ; but God has opened our way, through the kindness of Mr. Hewitt, a Baptist
friend, who sold us one of the most eligible sites in the neighbourhood. 

The foundation stone was laid by Mr. Pedley, of Hall-o’-th’-Heath, and a tea-meeting was held, when upwards of £11 were realized. The chapel, which is 29 feet by 24 feet, was opened on Sunday, July 29th, 1860, by Mr. T. Bateman ; and on August 12th, Messrs. J. Webster and R. Pedley preached, when the sum of £17 17s. 4|d. was collected. More than one-third of the cost will be obtained. We have now a chapel at every place on the plan, except one. Thanks to our God
