This stone from a Methodist Chapel is in a modern bungalow opposite the community centre at Charltons. However old maps don’t show any previous buildings on this site.
It is also unclear whether Alderman J.T. Fletcher is associated with the 1873 date or the 18/2/61 (which must be 1961 if it was re-laid then?)
This news report from 1874 hints work may have still being ongoing
Could it actually have been the chapel and school midway between Charltons and Margrove Park as suggested by 1890s Primitive Methodists circuits ?
it could well be from that chapel as the building on the site now doesn’t look like a Victorian chapel. If it was rebuilt the stone may well have been removed.
There was also a chapel at Margrove Park right by the road but that was Wesleyan.
Its a shame they didn’t specify Primitive or Wesleyan, it could be either.
Interested to know where that was as the old school is now the tees valley wildlife place previously the heritage centre where i worked with steve sherlock
The Old Chapel was as per the map and it was demolished as unsafe between 1958 , as i was christened in it, and 1964 when my brother was christened in the New Chapel which is now a house
