North Somercotes Reform Street Primitive Methodist chapel
Churchill Road North Somercoates LN11 7QW
Keith Guyler 1995
North Somercotes Primitive Methodist chapel in Reform Street dates from 1865. Previously the Society met in a privately owned building measuring 27′(w) x 34′(l) which they rented from 1821 and bought in 1837 for £90. They celebrated its purchase with a service where Brother Butcher was the preacher. John Coulson reports the occasion in the Primitive Methodist magazine.
Reform Street chapel closed in 1962 and was converted into flats. I assumed the street it is located on would be called Reform Street; in fact it is currently called Churchill Road.
