On visiting the village of Saltfleetby St. Peter in 2023 to photograph the Primitive Methodist Chapel, it was sad to see that the building was starting to appear a little rundown and unkempt. It was also disappointing to see the Chapel plaque and foundation stones had been ‘vandalised’ leaving just the date showing. These are part of the history of the Chapel.

At the rear of the Chapel building was a small attached house, which may have been built for the ‘Chapel Keeper’.

In 2023 the Chapel building has a notice attached to the front window advertising that it is the ‘Saltfleetby Snooker Club’.

The above information and photographs supplied by Elaine and Richard Pearce.
