Thrussington Wesleyan Methodist Chapel, Leicestershire

Thrussington Wesleyan Methodist Chapel was built of brick in 1839. By 1860 the original building and subsequent extensions and alterations had cost £165. In 1851 it provided 100 free and 40 other sittings, 140 in all. Subsequently the reported sittings fluctuated between 100 and 150. In 1931 there were 100, all free. In 1940, when the chapel was reported to measure 33 feet by 22 feet, they were all in pews. There were no other buildings.
It has not been possible to establish the location of this building but it could have been either of two marked “chapel” on a map of 1884. One was at the southern end of Regent Street, on the west side.. The other was on the west side of the village street just north of the fork between the roads to the south and the west.
