[former] Crackley Bank Methodist Chapel, Shifnal This small stone-built chapel, with two bays of round-headed windows, and a door at the south end, was built by the Wesleyan Methodists in 1838. Between June and September 1852 it seceded from the Wesleyan Connexion. By the late 1850s it belonged to the Methodist Free Church. However, during the latter part of the 19th century and the early 20th century it was known locally as a Primitive Methodist chapel. It ceased to be a Methodist chapel in the late 1920s. The building was sold, restored and used as a village hall, and also by the Apostolic Church, then during World War II it was the H.Q. of the local Home Guard. After the war it was used as a storeroom, gradually deteriorated and was demolished during the 1970s. Grid ref: SJ 758108.
