Frankwell Wesleyan Methodist chapel in New Street, in the Frankwell district of Shrewsbury, was opened in 1870, although the society had been meeting in a roo in New Street since 1846.
Street View in 2020 shows it with a carved stone tablet over the porch saying Wesleyan Sunday School and Google describes it as a pre-school..
