East Dulwich Primitive Methodist church

The 1895 Primitive Methodist magazine contains a note on the progress of the Primitive Methodist mission in East Dulwich.   East Dulwich was missioned 5 years previously and in the period had fostered a thriving church , a flourishing Sunday school and a prosperous Band of Hope.  They had just acquired an appropriate site and were setting about raising funding.

The chapel was in Crystal Palace Road, and there is a picture of it in a Souvenir Handbook of Primitive Methodism in the Forest Hill Circuit 1882-1932 donated to the Englesea Brook Collection. The book probably dates from 1932-3.
