This cache has been placed to bring you to Beeston Methodist Chapel.
The Methodist chapel at The Baulk in Beeston carries the date 1865, leading one to presume that it was built in that year. However, as is frequently the case with local history, this may not be so.
It is believed the old chapel to the left hand side of the current chapel was built in 1832. In 1859 a trust was created to build an addition to the chapel. It took some time to raise the funds to build the new chapel which was completed in 1865 and registered on 21st July 1868 by John Carey Pengelly a Minister of Biggleswade. The chapel was registered as a wedding venue in 1870.
The new chapel contained three hundred seats and the old chapel was then used as a schoolroom. In 1882 two vestries and an organ chamber were added to the new chapel, with a new organ being purchased in 1893, this was replaced in 1915. Electric light was installed in 1927.
