The 1940 register of Methodist buildings reports two Methodist chapels in Moxley, Staffordshire.
The larger chapel was the former Wesleyan chapel on High Street (WS10 8RT). Part of the Darlaston (Pinfold Street) circuit, it is recorded as brick built, seating 252 people on pews and having one Sunday school room and three other rooms. You can see a picture here.
The smaller chapel was the former Primitive Methodist chapel, known as Bourne chapel. It was part of the Darlaston (Slater Street) circuit and is recorded as also brick built, seating 160 people on pews and having one Sunday school room and one other room.
Where was Bourne chapel? Old Ordnance Survey maps show a chapel (although it is not identified by other than “chapel”) on the north side of High Street, on the corner of what is now High Ridge Close. Was that Bourne chapel?
