Weardale Museum and High House Chapel
Weardale Museum is located in High House Chapel in Ireshopeburn in Weardale, County Durham. The museum was established by volunteers in 1985 to preserve the heritage of Weardale, and has since won a number of awards. High House is also the oldest purpose built Methodist Chapel in continuous weekly use.[1] The Wesleyan Methodist Chapel and minister's house was originally built in 1760, and later raised and extended in 1871.[2] As part of the Dales circuit of the Methodist movement, High House is recorded as having 266 members in 1772, many of whome were lead miners.[3] By the 19th Century services in the chapel were regulaly attended by well over 600 people. The building, just off the A689 road, is Grade II listed on the National Heritage List for England.
