A Primitive Methodist Chapel was built on Church Street in Dunnington in 1852. In 1908 its membership was described as 'small', although it was still active in 1919.
Originally part of the York Circuit of the Primitive Methodist Connexion, in 1883 it became part of the York, First Circuit (named the York, Monkgate Circuit from 1903) after the original Primitive Methodist Circuit was divided into two.
By the 1970s the chapel had been closed and was being used for storage. It was later converted into a private house.
