WHILE the current Methodist church stands proudly at Darling Street, Enniskillen, this was not the site of the original chapel. Raymond Millar, a mine of historic information about the church, revealed that in 1793, the first Methodist chapel was built near Wellington Place; however, due to the growth of the congregation, the building was replaced in 1846 by a chapel in Wesley Street. Methodism in Fermanagh can be traced to 1763 when it was established by William Price, a former soldier in the Inniskilling Dragoon at Tonylomon, a few miles outside the town, with Methodism established in Enniskillen in 1779. In 1859, the second Enniskillen chapel proved too small to accommodate all who wanted to attend. Additional ground was purchased in 1863, and the foundation stone was laid by the Earl of Enniskillen on June 17, 1865.
