Durweston Primitive Methodist Chapel, Dorset
'Methody' the former Primitive Methodist Chapel; view on A357.
In water Lane.
Before I knew for certain that there had been a chapel, I noticed this property called Methody on the corner of the A357 and Water Lane – so I explored further. Durweston is not in the 1851 census but I found it on a preaching plan for 1912 in Blandford Museum. I don’t know when the chapel was built but a local resident thinks it closed in the 1960s. He said Methodism had been very strong in the village.
