Methodists & Methodism Washburn Valley – Castley to Norwood Bottom
By Stanley Merridew
The lower part of the valley was part of the Otley Circuit whose records are housed at Leeds Archives.
Castley
Isaac Atkinson is credited with starting Methodism in Castley around 1820, although a record of a chapel can only be gleaned from the name Chapel Hill Lane. He was a tenant of Castley Hall farm and Castley Manor Farm. I understand Chapel Hill Lane was diverted when the railway came, so possibly the chapel was pulled down at the time. In 1851 the chapel census was signed by John Adamson.
