NONCONFORMITY.

Methodists registered a house at Tidenham in 1820, (fn. 31) and a Wesleyan chapel built at Boughspring in 1836 (fn. 32) was registered by a Monmouth minister in 1844. (fn. 33) The chapel had a congregation of c. 45 in 1851. (fn. 34) The Wesleyan community died out in the early years of the 20th century, and the chapel, which was used for a time in the 1920s as a church boys' club, was demolished in the 1960s and a house built on the site. (fn. 35) A reading room built at Woodcroft in 1843 was being used for worship by Baptists and others under a Chepstow minister in 1851, when it claimed a congregation of 70-90. (fn. 36) It was presumably the Independent reading room recorded in the parish until 1870. (fn. 37) A house at Beachley was registered by an unidentified dissenting group in 1831. (fn. 38)
