Society records of the Methodist Church, York, Burton Stone Lane Primitive Methodist Chapel

Plan of proposed schoolroom and classrooms, [c.1901]; receipt from Primitive Methodist Chapel Aid Association for the deeds of the chapel, 1931.

The chapel on Haughton Road, off Burton Stone Lane, York, began life as a Primitive Methodist Chapel on Haughton Road in 1901. The chapel, which could accommodate up to 200 people, comprised one large chapel room and two classrooms and was build at a cost of £1,100.
It was initially part of the York First Circuit of the Primitive Methodist Connexion, renamed the Monkgate Circuit in 1903. Following the unification of the Wesleyan, Primitive and United Methodist churches in 1932, it remained in use, becoming part of the new Monkgate Circuit of the Methodist Church of Great Britain from 1934. The chapel was still in active use in 1955.
In 1957 the Monkgate and Clifton Circuits amalgamated to form the new Clifton & Monkgate Circuit (also known as Trinity Circuit). This became York, North Circuit, from 1981, although Burton Stone Lane Chapel would appear to have closed by this date.

Records are open to the public, subject to the overriding provisions of relevant legislation, including data protection laws. 24 hours' notice is required to access photographic material.

The archive was deposited at the Borthwick Institute in the 1980s. A further addition was made to the archive in 2019.
