4 Methodist Church
Methodism probably arrived in Burley in the mid eighteenth century and in 1816 the Burley Wesleyan society built a chapel, the present schoolroom, which was then enlarged in 1832.
With the approach of the Golden Jubilee Year of the chapel the congregation decided to build a new place of worship.
The foundation stone of the current building was dedicated on 7th June 1867. The total cost completely fitted out with pews, organ, stained glass window, heating and lighting amounted to £3,700. The architects were Lockwood and Mawson who had also designed the Town Hall and Wool Exchange in Bradford.
Five years later the old chapel was refurbished as a Sunday School for 300 children.
As a result of the Methodist Church Union Act, Primitive Methodists in the village and the Wesleyans became simply 'Methodists' in 1933; but they continued to function separately until 1967 when they merged and this building became the place of worship for all Burley Methodists.
