Question: I have some confusion between this Church and Southowram Wesleyan Chapel and their respective burial grounds: United Methodist Free Graveyard, Southowram and Southowram Wesleyan Chapel Graveyard.
Can anyone help me resolve this confusion?

Around 1855, the minister at Southowram Wesleyan Chapel forbade preacher Charles Farrar to read from a number of circulars which were upsetting the Methodists at that time. In support, many of his workers withdrew their membership of the Chapel. This led to the establishment of United Methodist Free Church.
The Church opened on 7th October 1859.
The Wesleyan Reform Movement were members here.

An inscription in the Chapel recorded
that this vestry – formerly the Chapel House – was renovated at the expense of Mrs Mackintosh, of Park Field, Southowram and was opened July 1886
The building became unsafe and the Church closed in 1958 when repairs proved too costly. The society rejoined the Wesleyans [1958] to become Southowram Methodists. The building was demolished.
