Raithby Chapel
The oldest Methodist chapel in
Lincolnshire. Robert Carr Brackenbury,
the squire of Raithby and friend and
fellow worker of John Wesley, built this
chapel over his stables at Raithby Hall.
It was opened by Wesley in July 1779.
It now belongs to the present owner of
Raithby Hall. The Georgian interior has
been preserved.
