Methodist Churches in 1940

This page lists Methodist Churches in 1940 in the Carlisle, Middlesbrough and Darlington, Newcastle-upon-Tyne and Sunderland and Durham Districts. This was eight years after the Wesleyan, Primitive and United Methodists merged to form the Methodist Church, but it predates the widespread church closures of the 1950s.

The list is by circuit and it includes the "section" of Methodism to which the church formerly belonged - WM, PM and UM indicating Wesleyan, Primitive and United Methodists respectively. (Others were either built after unification or rented.)

The Ordnance Survey grid references of some of the more obscure locations are given - others will be added as time permits. Corrections and/or additional grid references are welcome.

* Windy Nook Ebenezer was not Wesleyan Methodist as stated above, it was United Methodist prior to union in 1932 and had originally been a Methodist New Connexion chapel (opened 1865). Correction kindly supplied by Richard Jennings, Gateshead & Jarrow Methodist Circuit Archivist, 14th May 2002.

** Horsehouse Ebenezer is shown above as Wesleyan Methodist, but it is shown as Primitive Methodist on Ordnance Survey 1:2500 maps of 1892 and 1912.  Correction kindly supplied by Howard Richter, 12th June 2012.
