At Metheringham Fen about 5 miles from the village, there was another Wesleyan Chapel, first built in 1835; newer one in 1887, closed c.1969, a bungalow then built on the site. The area at Metheringham Fen is named “Tanvats”. Many rural chapels were built for the farming community to be in walking distance and by horsemounted or cart. Also, take the faith to the people, wherever they may be.
