The Wesleyan chapel referred to still stands – a handsome stone building that is now a private residence in Toll Bar.
Opening of a Wesleyan Chapel at Casterton. – For a long time the Wesleyan Methodists of Great Casterton had to hold their services in an uncomfortably small room in the village, and the consummation of an effort to get a place suitable for public worship was celebrated on Thursday the 27th Inst., when the new chapel was formally opened for divine service. The new building, which has been erected at a cost of 377l, 6s, 3d., stands at the Stamford end of the village, a short distance on the Little Casterton-road. It is built of local stone by Messrs. Scholes, Rouse, and Clarke, of Stamford. The chapel will seat about 150 persons, and is a comfortable structure. The school-room is at the east end of the chapel, and will accommodate about 50 scholars. The building is 56ft. by 30ft., is a good height, and is well ventilated and lighted with lamps. The east window, over the communion table, is a handsome stained and decorated one, with figures of SS Paul and Peter, and is the gift of Mr. H. Hart, of Stamford. Altogether the Methodists have reason to be proud of their new chapel.
