Chapel at Raithby Hall

The small Methodist chapel at Raithby by Spilsby is the oldest Methodist chapel in Lincolnshire, and one of the oldest in England. It is one of the few surviving chapels that was opened by John Wesley, the founding father of Methodism, and is still in use today. The chapel is a Grade I listed building and stands above the former stables at Raithby Hall.[1][2]

Services

The chapel is now part of the mid-Lincolnhshire Methodist Circuit. Services are held monthly, on the last Sunday of the month at 2.30pm.
