Wakefield Methodism: 1743 - 2000

Paul Dawson has generously shared  on our sister site his history of the Methodist church and its various denominations in the City of Wakefield and surrounding towns and villages.  You can access “Wakefield Methodism: 1743 – 2000” and see a full index here 

The story is presented in terms of areas (in bold type) and particular chapels and well illustrated with pictures of many of the chapels . An unusual element is the specification of many of the organs installed in the chapels.
