A Wesleyan Methodist Chapel was built in Chapel Lane at Askham Bryan in 1836. It was replaced by a new chapel in 1893, which was the gift of Mr John Francis Taylor of York and which could accommodate around 80 people. The earlier structure subsequently became a private house.

It is unclear when the 1893 chapel ceased to be used for worship but as of 2016 it is used as the village hall.
