Glazebrook Primitive Methodist Centenary Church Cheshire
This chapel was built in 1908
Rixton with Glazebrook is a rural community in Warrington East bordered on the south side by the Manchester Ship Canal. Warburton Toll Bridge is the nearest crossing point.
There has been a Methodist presence in Glazebrook since 1854. Primitive or Wesleyan? The present chapel was erected in 1908. It is large, built of red brick with ochre brick decoration and occupies quite a large piece of land. The part of the building to the rear may have been an earlier chapel?
In 2016 it is still open for worship.

An examination of a map of 1908 https://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/#zoom=17.5&lat=53.42997&lon=-2.46227&layers=168&b=1&marker=53.42795,-2.46123
shows the earlier P.M. chapel.
Its replacement was built on the then empty plot a little way to the south where the “58” is. The old chapel possibly survives as the garage seen in this Streetview – https://maps.app.goo.gl/MYxDBKVeCZmoefXb7
or else its site lies beneath the house to its right.
