Uttoxeter Methodist Church
It is recorded that the first Primitive Methodists met in in a house in Hockley (now the southern part of Uttoxeter), and later in a chapel on Carter St. It is suggested that the chapel was built in 1843, and White’s 1851 Gazetteer of Staffordshire confirmed that in Carter Street was a small Primitive Methodist chapel. Francis Redfern, Uttoxeter’s first historian refers to this as being opposite his house on Carter Street (1885, History and Antiquities of Uttoxeter)- his house is currently the location for Museum of Uttoxeter life. This chapel was enlarged in 1875, and finally used as a rest centre during the 39-45 war, before being finally demolished.
This building currently houses services Sunday mornings at 10am
