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 It may have been compiled many years ago and could be out of date.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.
Methodist meetings may have been held in Clayton West as early as c1770.
Class meetings were established by Mr J Woodall c1830s; this was after the firm of Wood and Walker, worsted spinners of Bradford moved some of their business to Clayton West- many of their employees were Wesleyans.
A chapel was built on the south side of Clayton Hill in 1839; this road was later known as Chapel Hill. A separate Sunday School building existed behind the chapel by 1854 and a new one was built in 1928.
The chapel closed in 1971 and was later demolished.
