It is also suggested that the Masonic Hall on Jameson Bridge Street was built in 1800, and was originally a Wesleyan Methodist Chapel, possibly with an associated burial ground. The Primitive Methodists bought the building in 1836, and was given a new façade in 1866. It is not known when it became a Masonic Hall. It has round headed windows with stained glass, an elaborate string course, roundels and a raised gable. {2}{3}{4}{5}
