Wallsend Primitive Methodists 78th Anniversary Services Wallsend Primitive Methodists are this week celebrating the 78th anniversary of the erection of their first stone church in the town. Although the first church was built in 1863, it was not till 1867 that the stone structure was built. The first services were conducted by the Rev. Green from a tree stump in Pitt Town for several weeks until a tent was erected. The first church, of wooden slabs, cost £66 0s ld. The main items of expenditure were 150 slabs £3 15s. 12 rail-back seats £7 10s, nails £1 2s Id, roof shingles £5 12s, lamps and glasses £1 16s 6id. The official opening of the church was performed by die Rev. W. J. Dean, who was the minister in the Newcastle area and travelled to Wallsend periodically to preach. In 1867 a brick church was built over the little old wooden one, the contract price of which was £400. The trustees borrowed £200 to pay the contractor and insured the church for £500. In 1869 a fire razed the Blue Bell Hotel, which was next to the church, and also burnt the church to the ground, there being no fire brigade in the town in those days. The trustees received £480 from the insurance and with money promised set about the erection of a new church, the contract price be ins £320 During the reconstruction, open air meetings were held, but were later transferred to the Newcastle Wallsend Coal Co.s workshops, where temporary seating accommodation was provided. The Rev. E. Cook-Pritchard was appointed in 1865. Others who followed were Rev. J. E. Mell (1867). Rev. J. Feggan (1870), Rev. B. Kenny (1875).
