The following source list was originally available only on paper in one of the West Yorkshire Archive Service offices. It may have been compiled many years ago and could be out of date. It was designed to act as a signpost to records of interest on a particular historical subject, but may relate only to one West Yorkshire district, or be an incomplete list of sources available.
Was established by Wesleyan Reformers who seceded from Lockwood Wesleyan Methodist Church 1850-1851.
Wesleyan premises in Crosland's Mill were retained by the Wesleyan Reformers 1850-1851 and the congregation became part of the United Methodist Free Church in 1863.
A chapel was built in Bentley Street between 1864-1865 and a Sunday School was built behind the church 1884-1885. The chapel was subsequently rebuilt between 1923-1924.
The congregation ceased to use the chapel for worship and used the Sunday School instead from 1987 before the church closed in 1991.
