When the foundation stone of a new Wesleyan Chapel was laid in Claybrooke Magna in August 1882 it was said that there had been a Methodist presence in Claybrooke in 1836, although it had become \u2018extinct\u2019. In 1878 services began again initially in the house of Mr John Wright, and then in a barn belonging to a Mr Ball. A site for a chapel was then located and purchased for \u00a380, and fundraising got underway for a chapel building to seat 140 people and a room for a Sunday school, at an estimated cost of \u00a3440.
