North Wraxall Primitive Methodist preaching place

Return from Upper Wraxhall Primitive Methodist chapel in the 1851 Census of Places of Public Religious Worship
Provided by David Tonks

The return to the 1851 Census of Places of Public Religious Worship contains an entry for Upper North Wraxhall (sic). It is completed  by George Watts, the minister, of Victoria Cottage, Chippenham.

It records a meeting place in a house rather than a chapel, where preaching had commenced about 1845..  It was not a separate and entire building and  was not  used exclusively as a place of worship.

It could accommodate 40 people and 20 attended in the afternoon of Sunday March 31st, three fewer than the usual attendance.
