This profile of Newquay Crantock Street Wesleyan Chapel has been compiled by Jo Lewis and Tony Mansell.

1833: Built as a Wesleyan Chapel at a cost of £170.

1849: Following the Methodist split (the1849 Conference) the congregation became Wesleyan Reform, with many leaving to form a new chapel (Wesley Hill Chapel 1852).

Some accounts state that the leavers were the wealthier members of the congregation.

1857: the UMFC was formed but It is not clear if this congregation became Wesleyan Reform Union

1865 the congregation moved to the United Methodist Chapel on Marcus Hill (Steps Chapel).
