Description
Bishopstone Wesleyan Methodist chapel. Mentioned by Sheahan 'The hamlet of Bishopstone - Here is a Wesleyan chapel - a neat erection in about the centre of the hamlet' (B1).
VCH mentions Wesleyan chapel but gives incorrect founding date (B2), unless it was replaced by a later building. Kelly's directory of 1847 notes existence of chapel but may refer to the chapel-of-ease, later to become St John's church, Bishopstone. Chapel closed 1997, report of burial ground there and site to be sold in due course (B3)
