Outwoods Primitive Methodist chapel

Outwoods Primitive Methodist chapel in the Burton on Trent circuit was located in Upper Outwoods on Beamhill Road, just east of the junction with Longhedge Lane.  It is still marked as a chapel on Ordnance Survey maps released 1981-1986.  There is a new house on the site on Streetview in 2016.

F Richardson describes the opening:-

Our friends at this place had for upwards of twenty-four years worshipped in a small house, but many persons objecting to going there it was decided to build a chapel. About the month of August, 1861, plans and specifications were prepared by Messrs. T. Lowe and Son, of Burton-on-Trent, and the foundation stone was laid by Mr. F. Dalton. On Sundays, September 15th  and 22nd , the same year, the opening services were held, and sermons preached by the Rev. R. Kenney, Rev. — Massey, (Baptists,) and the Rev. J. Wilkinson.

Since the chapel was opened, the services have been well attended, and the cause has prospered. On Sunday, August 31st , 1862, the first anniversary services were held, when Mr. James Sherlock, of Derby, preached in the afternoon and evening to large and attentive congregations. The sum of £2 12s. was collected in aid of the Trust Fund.
