Pillowell Primitive Methodist Church 1885

2nd chapel built 1885

A Primitive Methodist chapel was built in Pillowell in 1835, when there were around 30 cottages. A second, larger chapel opened on a new site in 1885.

In 1885 the demand for a new chapel was met with the opening of a second, larger Pillowell chapel built on land bounded on the south in part by a road leading to Kidnall’s Wood, and Yorkley on the East and on all other sides by open forest.

The chapel is still open for worship in 2021.

  • Thanks to Simon Field for providing a link to a picture of the chapel in the Martin Ridley collection at the National Library of Wales. It shows the chapel in the context of the wider settlement. You can see the picture here.

    The chapel is in the top right of the photograph. It is labelled as Yorkley, rather than Pillowell.
