A Wesleyan Reform Chapel stood on North Street at SK 4312 1647. This source says that it shows on a map of 1884, and had ceased to be labelled as a place of worship by the time of a map of 1923. Still standing and in commercial use in 2009 (Streetview), by 2019 it had been demolished and replaced by a house (Streetview).
