The long history of Rawdon's Primitive Methodist Chapel

A ONCE familiar sight in Rawdon the Primitive Methodist Church on Harrogate Road is now long gone.
Built in 1866 it played a central role in the community for more than a century until its closure in 1971.The church, which was close to Littlemoor Primary School, was demolished in 1974 and replaced with housing. Before the chapel was built the area's Primitive Methodists met in a small building in Canada Road, which is now two houses.
The Primitive Methodists were a 19th century working class movement.Primitive meant "simple" or "relating to an original stage" and this type of Methodism was seen by its adherents as a purer form of Christianity. Many of its followers were among the poorer members of society.
