TURNCHAPEL METHODIST CHAPEL

Turnchapel Methodist Chapel is in St John's Road, Turnchapel, Plymstock, Plymouth.  Although the building is still in existence, it is now a private residence.

It is known from documents held by the Plymouth & West Devon Record Office that the Wesleyan Methodists first met at Turnchapel in either 1809 or 1810.  There were 13 members in October 1813 but stood at only 12 in December 1817.

The first Chapel was erected at Turnchapel in 1817 and cost £312.  It had seating for 200.

Nothing further is known as yet.
