  There must have been a chapel before the one (above) built in 1869, as I have just discovered!

  TEA MEETING. The Primitive Methodists in this locality held their annual tea meeting at the above place on Wednesday last, and although the weather was very unfavourable a large company assembled. After tea a public service was conducted in the chapel, and Mr. Thos. Gwilliam was called to the chair. The audience was addressed by the Revds. Peter Aston, John Butcher, and T. T. Phillips (Baptist), and Messrs. G. Hill and W. Hall. The Rev. Mr. Aston delivered a speach in his usual style. The Rev. Mr. Butcher addressed the meeting in an earnest strain; and the Rev. Mr. Phillips (who is a popular speaker in this district) on rising, was warmly received and repeatedly cheered during his able speach.”

  “PERKIN’S BEACH.
  PRIMITIVE METHODIST REVIVAL SERVICES. A series of very interesting services of the above-named kind were commenced at the above place early in the last month, and were held on the week nights most suitable, when sermons were preached by Mr. H. Wiggon, of Snailbeach, and Mr Bennett, of Penirley. On New Year’s Eve a watch meeting was conducted, commencing at ten o’clock p.m., and it having been announced that Mr. H. Wiggon would preach, the chapel was nearly full, and an excellent discourse was delivered. During the last fortnight these meetings have been continued with good effect … The meetings have been most successful, and will doubtless have a vey beneficial tendency.”
