Full description

PRN 14011
It is known from documentary sources that the Boston Primitive Methodist Circuit, which was created in 1821, first met in a "room" in Innocent Street (later known as Primitive Place and subsequently King Street) prior to the building of the chapel in George Street in 1839 (PRN 13998). However a Primitive Methodist Chapel is marked in Innocent Street on a map of 1839. This may be the building shown in a surviving photograph.{1}{2}{3}{4}
