Harriseahead - Primitive Methodists

Date: 1800  ·  Place: Harriseahead, Staffordshire  ·  Type: Local well


A great revival of religion took place; a number of sinners turned to God in penitence and faith, and a striking reformation was witnessed in the locality. (Hugh Bourne)

From, ‘The History of the Primitive Methodist Connexion from its origin, by John Petty, 1860, p11.

Hugh Bourne built this in 1802. The Chapel is now used as a work shed with only a few parts of the original walls remaining. You can see a photo of the ruins at http://www.thepotteries.org/photo_wk/068.htm. I spent over an hour walking up and down the short road, but could not find the ruins.
