View of the old Wesleyan Chapel which dates from 1766 and was built by Jeremiah Marshall of Parkgate, Guiseley. According to Philemon Slater in his 'History of the Ancient Parish of Guiseley' John Wesley often visited Jeremiah Marshall's home and preached twice at the Wesleyan Chapel. The first time, on 2nd May 1782, he wrote 'On Saturday evening I preached to an earnest congregation at Yeadon. The same congregation was present in the morning together with an army of little children.' Again, after preaching on 21st May 1786, he wrote 'Such a company of loving children I have seen nowhere but Oldham.' The chapel was doubled in size in 1770 but still eventually found to be too small. In 1854 it was purchased by Mr. W. B. Crompton Stansfield of Esholt and became a Church of england Mission Hall and School before the building of St. Andrew's Church in 1891. In this image the chapel is in a state of disrepair and was demolished to be replaced by the Church Institute built in 1894. It is now converted to flats. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Wesleyan Chapel Church Institute Chapel Lane John Wesley | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
