Methodism came to
Nettleton in 1796 in the homes of Henry Spring, Zechariah Featherstone and
Robert Appleby. The chapel was built in 1800, enlarged in 1847 and the
schoolroom, kitchen and toilet added in 1912.
The Primitive
Methodist Chapel (across the road) was built in 1858, but when its lease expired
in 1957 it was agreed to unite the two societies and worship in the present
chapel, which was renovated and re-opened in 1957. In 2002 the kitchen and
toilet facilities were updated, followed by repairs to the roof and exterior
brickwork.. This work uncovered an unknown ironstone wall, which has now been
restored to its former glory.
The hall continues to be used by local groups.
A joint service is held with the parish Church 4 times a year and held in Church
and Chapel alternately. The Bright Hour Fellowship meets fortnightly and monthly
coffee mornings are held.
