Haxby Wesleyan Methodist chapel

Haxby and Wigginton Methodist Church, The Village, Haxby, York YO32 2JJ

JISC Archives Hub tells us that the first Methodist Chapel at Haxby was established in 1782 in North Lane. In 1813 the congregation moved to a new, larger chapel on The Village, but numbers continued to expand and in 1879 the present day Methodist Chapel was built close to the parish boundary with Wigginton.

Originally part of the single York Circuit of the Wesleyan Methodist Connexion, in 1867 Haxby & Wigginton became part of the new York, New Street Circuit (renamed Clifton Circuit from 1909). Following the unification of the Wesleyan, Primitive and United Methodist churches in 1932, the chapel continued as part of the Clifton Circuit of what was now a single Methodist Connexion. In 1957 it became part of the Clifton & Monkgate Circuit (also known as Trinity Circuit) and in 1972 it became part of York, North Circuit.
The chapel was refurbished in the 1970s and extended in 1995.  It has been part of the York Circuit of the Methodist Connexion since 2012.

The chapel is still active in 2022.
