South Cave Methodist Church 1790 to 2006

 Villagers from South Cave would have heard John Wesley preach in North Cave in 1761 and perhaps again in Hotham in 1788. The first Methodist Meeting Place was in George Turner's house in 1782. According to Robert Sharp, pioneer Master of South Cave National School, one Richard Milner had done much to establish a Methodist Society, here in 1790. Now a private house the Wesleyan Chapel was built in 1816 and closed in 1943. Followers of William Clowes, the great East Riding evangelist had been disowned by the main Weslyan body because of their camp meetings (one held in Brantingham), "enthusiasm" and "love feasts". Known as Primitive Methodists, they built their chapel in 1877 on the site of the two cottages where they had been meeting . This new "commodious chapel, with schoolroom and vestries" cost about £600 to build. Few changes have been made to it , except in its use.Since their decision in 2005, to join with the Church of England, in a Local Ecumenical Partnership, Methodists have shared in worship at All Saints Church. The LEP was inaugurated on 9th September 2007.
Unfortunately, because of the continuing risk of flooding which is due to the chapel's damp location and the problems of making the building fire-safe, the church council decided on November 20th 2007 to initiate the process of selling the chapel.
