Introduction A St Albans Wesleyan Circuit was first formed in 1824 and included the chapels at Watford, St Albans, Bovingdon, Sarratt, Flaunden and Rickmansworth. By 1870 the circuit had grown to include St Albans, Watford, Hemel Hempstead, Redbourn, Nash Mills, Two Waters, Shenley, Wheathampstead, Bovingdon, Sleaps Hyde, Abbots Langley, Kings Langley, Hatfield and Potters Bar. A separate Watford circuit was created in 1872 (see NM7), and the chapels at Hemel Hempstead, Nash Mills, Two Waters, Berkhamsted, Kings Langley and Abbots Langley were formed into the Hemel Hempstead circuit in 1886 (see NM3). Potters Bar was transferred to the Barnet circuit in 1882 (see NM1 and NM1D). Therefore in 1886 the St Albans circuit consisted of only St Albans, Redbourn, Shenley, Wheathampstead, Hatfield and Sleaps Hyde. A chapel in Hatfield Road, St Albans was established in 1898 and a former Primitive Methodist chapel in Boundary Road, St Albans was transferred to the St Albans Circuit from the Luton Circuit in 1934 (see NM5B). New chapels were also erected in Hatfield, at Birchwood Avenue in 1938 and Oxlease in 1961 (see NM5E and 5F). The chapel at Wheathampstead was closed in 1939 (see NM5I). The Methodist societies at Welwyn Garden City and Warren Way, Digswell also formed part of this Circuit for a short period (see NM8). The St Albans Circuit now forms part of the London North West District of the Methodist church. Primitive Methodists A Primitive Methodist chapel existed in Sopwell Lane, St Albans by 1868 and at this date the chapel formed part of the Watford Primitive Circuit (see NM7/1). This chapel was sold in November 1875 when the society was offered the use of the former Independent chapel in Dagnall Street, St Albans (Ref. Urwick p. 206). In 1877 the Primitive societies at St Albans and Redbourn split away from the Watford Circuit to become known as the St Albans Mission. The chapel at Redbourn transferred to the Luton Circuit in 1887. |
