Market Drayton's first Methodists held their meetings in private houses in 1799, in places then called Tinkers Lane and Ranters Gullet. A visiting Archdeacon of Salop at that time wrote "there are many church-going Methodists here, probably some hundreds". In 1807, a Wesleyan Methodist Chapel was built on land between Keelings Lane and Street Lane, now called Salisbury Road and Shrewsbury Road respectively. Ten years later it was enlarged and more seating was added in 1842 by building a gallery. The building had served many purposes during the 172 years, as a chapel, Sunday school, and Wesleyan day-school, continuing as Sunday school and ancillary to the new Chapel which was situated on the other side of the road from 1866.
