Details: A Primitive Methodist Society was in existence in Newcastle in 1852, when Mrs. Lambourne was empowered to solicit the aid of the generous public of Newcastle towards the erection of a new chapel connected with that body of Christians called Primitive Methodists, who up to this time have not had a place of their own in which to worship. This society was a branch of the Morpeth Mission Station, directed by Rev. Stoor. A block of land was purchased from the A.A. Company, at the corner of King and Brown Streets, and the first chapel was built by Mr. R. Turton in 1855 at a cost of £840. The Chapel was opened in October, 1855, by Rev. Miles Moss, who had succeeded Rev. Stoor and was stationed at Maitland. Next year Newcastle was cast off from Morpeth and made a separate mission station
