Catalogue Description

The Thornley Circuit was formed in 1941 by the merger of the Coxhoe, Wingate, Thornley ex-Primitive Methodist and East Durham Circuits. This followed from the amalgamation of the various Methodist churches in 1932. (The East Durham Circuit, formerly East Durham Wesleyan Methodist Circuit, was formed in 1914 from a merger of the Thornley and Wingate Wesleyan Circuits).
