Congleton - Primitive Methodists
Date: 1822 · Place: Congleton, Cheshire · Type: Local well
The work of God prospered greatly at Congleton, and the society became numerous and powerful The zealous and well-regulated efforts of tract distributors were rendered of signal benefit to many persons and tended to enlarge the congregation and augment the society. A love-feast of extraordinary power was conducted there by Mr Hugh Bourne, in September 1822. Prayer was offered with penitents for several hours, and a considerable number found peace with God through faith in Christ.

The marker on the map shows where the Primitive Methodist Chapel was built in 1821. In 1890 it was re-built and turned around so that it was on Kinsey Street. It closed towards the end of the 20th century.
