Religion in Stannington

For such a small village, Stannington seems to have had 4 major religions worshiping in its midst! Even now there are 3 churches/chapels within its borders. The earliest of these is Underbank Chapel. Before this villagers had to travel to Bradfield to worship.

Knowle Top Methodist Chapel

 

A group of Methodists meeting at Stannington purchased the land at Knowle Top for the building of a chapel. The church was opened in 1822. This building fell into disrepair and a new chapel was built in 1971. Thi sis the present building. However a fire in the 1990's made the main church building unsafe and services were held in the school-rooms.
