PRN 62871 The first Methodist Chapel stood at the junction of Torgate Road and Carlton Road. This was built and licensed at his own expense by John Dixon around 1800. By 1830 this chapel was found to be too small. A promise of extra land adjoining this chapel was refused by the new owner and so the Methodists had to look elsewhere. {1} The Methodist Records in the Lincolnshire Archives suggest that the first Wesleyan chapel was built around 1802 on the same site as the extant chapel in High Street built in 1839 (PRN 62878). The denomination of the Torgate Road/Carlton Road chapel is therefore unclear.{2}
