Swaffham Lynn St Primitive Methodist Chapel

Baptisms 1813 to 1880

 

The Primitive Methodist Chapel in the market town of Swaffham was founded in 1834 after first meeting in a barn and then a meeting house formed from two cottages. A formal chapel was not completed until 1849 but this was replaced in turn by a new chapel in 1875. Following a merger with the Wesleyan sect the chapel was disbanded and the building eventually demolished in 1966. A single register covering the short period up to 1837 was deposited as part of the legislation associated with Civil Registration and is now held in The National Archives as their deposit RG4/2337. This register is a simple plain book hand-ruled with the entries as text with no formal layout. This transcript was prepared from a copy held by Norfolk Record Office on their Microfilm MF1156, for those with appropriate subscriptions digitised images are available on many of the main commercial sites. The clerical standard is acceptable and this was therefore a straightforward piece to prepare.
