Helmsley Methodist Church
Heritage Open Day: The exact origins of Helmsley Methodism are not recorded. However, there existed a Helmsley Primitive Chapel, a former Quaker Friends Meeting on Bridge Street, for members in 1844. The current grand building's cornerstone was laid on 1 January 1901. A Wesleyan Chapel was built at Gate Helmsley in 1814. It was replaced by a new larger chapel in 1864. The Helmsley Primitive Methodist Society began meeting in a former Quakers Friends Meeting House in 1844 and continued to worship there until 1980. In 1932 there was a unification of the Primitive, Wesleyan and United Methodist churches. The current grand building on Ashdale Road was constructed in 1901 and has been the base for Methodists in Helmsley ever since.
