PETERBOROUGH METHODIST CIRCUIT
INTRODUCTION The present Peterborough Methodist Circuit consists of the former Wesleyan Primitive Methodist and United Methodist Free circuits, based on Peterborough and the former Crowland and Oundle circuits.
1 Peterborough Wesleyan Circuit
Peterborough was originally in the area of the Kettering circuit, but in "1807 became part of the new Stamford circuit. The Peterborough circuit was formed in 1825, the Wentworth Street church opening in 1834. In 1844, the circuit consisted of chapels at Alwaiton, Castor, Coates, Crowland, Deeping, Dogsthorpe. Elton, Eye, Farcett, Helpston, Marholm, Nene Terrace, Orton (Cherry;, Peter borough Wentworth Street, Stilton, Thorney, Thorpe, Walton, Werring ton, Whittlesey and Yaxley. In 1846, Eastrea had joined the circuit, but Marholm had left. By 1870, the circuit had altered,with the addition of New England and Northside and the loss of chapels at Castor, Elton, Eye, Helpston, Orton, Thorney, Thorpe and Walton. In 1887, Hampden Road joined the circuit and in 1888 several chapels broke away to form the Crowland circuit. In 1908, London Road joined the circuit, which then comprised the chapels at Alwalton, Coates, Dogsthorpe, Eastrea, Farcett, Peterborough London Road, Wentworth Street, Wesley Hall (Hampden Road), Stilton, Werrington, Whittlesey, Yaxley and remained unchanged,until the Methodist circuits amalga mated in 1932.
2 Crowland Wesleyan Circuit Few records survive relating to this circuit, which was formed out of Peterborough Wesleyan circuit in 1888. According to the register of deeds (PMC 1) it consisted of chapels at Brotherhouse, Crowland Reform Street, Dowsdale, Nene Terrace, North-Side and Thorney.
3 Peterborough Primitive Methodist Circuits
In 1857, the Peterborough Primitive Methodist circuit consisted of the chapels at Crowland, Dogsthorpe, Eye, Fenton, New Fletton, Fortyfeet, Glinton, Newborough, Peterborough, Ramsey, Uggmere, Upwood, Walton, Warboys and Werrington. The change in the circuit, in 1867, resulted in the loss of chapels at Fenton, New Fletton, Fortyfeet, Uggmere and Warboys, with the addition of the chapels at Farcet, Northborough, Stanground and Yaxley.
In 1887, Cobden Street, Farcet, Overton and Ramsey split off to form the Cobden Street second circuit, the original circuit taking the name New Road. In 1885, Deeping St. James joined the first circuit which remained unchanged until the union in 1932. apart from Eye transferring to the United Methodists in 1929 and the loss of Yaxley in 1932. At that time, the circuit consisted of /cont. NORTHAMPTONSHIRE RECORD OFFICE

chapels at Crowland, Market Deeping, Deeping St. James, Deeping St. Nicholas (Littleworth), Glinton, Newark, Newborough, Northborough, Peterborough Dogsthorpe, Hew Road and Star Road, Stanground, Thorney, Walton, Werrington and Whittlesey.

4 Peterborough United Methodist Free Circuit
The United Methodist Free circuit,in 1864, consisted of the chapels at Ailsworth, Crowland, Deeping St. James, Eye, Folkesworth, Helpston, Peterborough, Stilton, Thurlby, Whittlesey, Woodnewton and Yaxley. By 1868, the chapels at Folkesworth and Woodnewton had left the circuit. Kings Dyke had a meeting house from 1898 and a chapel was built in 1928. The records for the chapel at Ailsworth continue only up to 1945, those for Helpston to 1946 and for Peter borough Boroughbury up to 1956, when the chapel was sold. No records have been deposited from the remaining chapels that were United Methodist.
5 Methodist Union With the Methodist Union of 1932, the four circuits amalgamated to form the Peterborough Methodist circuit, comprising 51 chapels. By 1936, the number had been slightly reduced and consisted of the chapels at Ailsworth, Alwalton, Brotherhouse, Coates, Crowland (Broadway, North Street and Reform Street), Market Deeping, Deeping St. James, Deeping St. Nicholas (Littleworth), Dowsdale, Eastrea, Eye, Farcet (Cross and Main Streets), Glinton, Helpston (Bethel and Ebeneezer), Kings Dyke, Nene Terrace, Newborough, Northborough, Peterborough (Boroughbury Lincoln Road, Cobden Street, Fletton Avenue, Garton End, London Road, Midland Road, Newark, New England, New Road, Orton Waterville, Stanground, Star Road, Walton, Wentworth Street, Werrington Chapel Lane and The Green - joint chapel after 1944 - Wesley Hall, Woodston), Ramsey, Stilton, Thorney, Whittlesey (Church and Queens Streets) and Yaxley (Chapel Lane and Main Street, joint after 1940).
By 1949, the chapels at Alwalton, Crowland (Broadway), Helpston (Bethel) and Peterborough (Garton End) had left the circuit and,by 1960, the chapels at Market Deeping, Newborough, Peterborough (Lincoln Road, Newark, New Road, Stanground) and Ramsey were no longer in the circuit.

The chapels at Hemmington and Winwick had left the circuit by 1860, but, by 1870, there had been the addition of Glapthorn and Tansor. Glapthorn and Titchmarsh left the circuit by 1890 and, by 1900, Haddon had also left. The circuit was unchanged, until around 1931, when Tansor had left, followed by Polebrooke, in 1955.
