Originally part of the single York Circuit of the Wesleyan Methodist Connexion, in 1867 it became part of the York, New Street Circuit (renamed Clifton Circuit in 1909). Following the unification of the Primitive, Wesleyan and United Methodist churches in 1932, it continued as part of the York, Clifton Circuit of what was now a unified Methodist Connexion until 1957, when it joined York, Clifton & Monkgate Circuit.
