The 1874 Primitive Methodist magazine tells us that Barrow Hill was one of five Primitive Methodist chapels in the Chesterfield circuit that had cleared its outstanding debt – in this case £40. Not only that, but they were erecting a school and classrooms.
The 1898 Ordnance Survey map shows a Primitive Methodist chapel on the western side of what is now Campbell Drive, north of Barrow Hill Round House., somewhere opposite the end of Chigwell Way.
