Full Description

Methodism was introduced locally in 1816 and the original Methodist Chapel was built in 1834 on the corner of Slingsby Road and Tadcaster Road. This was replaced by a larger building, known as Dringhouses Chapel in 1890 on the same site. It later became part of the new, enlarged York, Wesley Circuit of the Methodist Connexion. The chapel was closed in 1954 and the congregation transferred to the new West Thorpe Chapel on West Thorpe Road. It has since been turned into an office space, however, it is still recognisable and has high social-historic value due to its religious connections.
