The 1886 Primitive Methodist magazine tells us of the laying of the memorial stones at Broom Green Primitive Methodist chapel in the Fakenham Station. The move was prompted when they “were deprived of the house in which for some months they had conducted worship”. The new chapel was expected to cost £140 of which they had raised £65.
The chapel is marked on Ordnance Survey maps in 1939 but by 1976 it is labelled as Disused. On Satellite View in 2020 the site next to the B1110 is marked by a small spinney protruding into a field.

I have attached a brief history of the chapel provided by Norma Virgoe, including with some pictures of the chapel some years after it closed.
Sorry Janice but we don’t. It would be really good to add one to the page if you can track one down!
Do you have any photographs of Broom Green Chapel?
