Methodism in Baslow
Methodism came to Baslow in 1793, and the original Baslow chapel building was opened in 1796. In 1822 the Methodist church decided to build a place to be a Sunday School. "Only John Wesley's doctrines were taught. Upstairs was used for Religious Instruction, and the lower room reading and writing. So great were the numbers of children attending that boys and girls had to attend the chapel on alternate Sundays. The was the first school in the village" quoted from Celia Miller's History of Baslow Methodist Church.

In the late 1970's under the leadership of Rev. John Job, it was decided to sell the chapel and develop the Sunday School building to become a chapel. The new building opened on Palm Sunday 1981. As there are still members who remember the opening well, we hold our Chapel anniversary each year as near as possible to the opening date.
