Image shows Tingley Methodist Chapel and the original Sunday School, seen to the right. The Chapel replaced the former inadequate building and opened on Shrove Tuesday, 6th March 1838. It measured 38' X 42' and cost ?511. 2s. 9d to build. A new Sunday School replaced this one in 1908, and the old building seen here, was converted to a Men's Institute in 1909. In it's hey day this Sunday School was very active. There was annual 'Walk Round' after which tea was provided. On one of these occasions it is recorded that 12 stones of flour was provided for the scholar's cakes, and 'two stones of plain cakes for teacher's tea'. 7 pounds of ham and bread were provided at Hill Top for musicians and singers'. The old Sunday School was demolished in 1962.
