Mount Zion Chapel, Mytholmroyd

Mount Zion Primitive Methodist Chapel once stood proudly near the bottom of Midgley Road. Built in 1887, sadly dry rot caused the chapel to be closed in August 1960 and it was demolished in 1970 and flats now occupy the site. After closure the society joined with the Wesleyan chapel on Scout Road and became Mytholmroyd Methodist Church. A memorial plaque to those who died in the two Great Wars was removed from the Primitive Chapel and placed in the Scout Road chapel. In turn in 2014 the Scout Road chapel closed and the congregation joined with Hebden Bridge Methodist Church to become Hebden Royd Methodist Church. The memorial plaques for both Zion and Mytholmroyd fallen were removed to St Michael’s Church, Mytholmroyd.
