About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

Lay preacher, John Nelson, the pioneer of Methodism in Yorkshire, founded the Birstall Methodist Society in 1741. He helped build Birstall Methodist Chapel between 1750 and 1751, the first Methodist preaching house in Yorkshire. His study is still situated in the grounds of the chapel.

The chapel was rebuilt and enlarged in 1782. The present building dates from 1846. The current Birstall Methodist Church has, since 2011, met in the more compact and upgraded suite of rooms to the left of the large chapel building.

Burials took place in the burial ground to the rear of the chapel until the mid 20th century.
