Methodist Society

Norton Disney Primitive Methodist Society was established after a visit by two female preachers.   According to a surviving preaching plan, by the summer of 1821 Lincoln circuit had 57 places where Sunday services were held regular.  Norton Disney was one of these.
It was said of Wm. Bailey of Norton Disney that he was " Of a gay turn of mind, and fond of the pleasures of this life."   He was likewise particularly fond of music, which, in minds like his, has a peculiar tendency to drown every serious thought.
It is thought that the Meeting Room for the society was on the site of the present day village hall.

NORTON DISNEY. - A New Wesleyan Chapel has been opened in this village.   The new building is of zinc, and is erected on land granted by Lord St. Vincent.   Exclusive of the leading, which was done free of cost by farmers in the village, the total cost of the building is £184, and already £170 of that amount has been raised.   The chapel was opened last week, when a silver key was presented to Miss Wallis, and a sermon preached by the Rev. J. Shrimpton (chairman of the Lincoln district).
The Mayor of Lincoln (Ald. Wyatt) afterwards spoke at a

Zinc Tabernacle

meeting held in connection with the opening.

NORTON DISNEY--- WESLEYAN CHAPEL---

In connection with the above, two sermons were preached by Mr. R. E. Newton, of Lincoln, on Sunday, when there were good congregations. On Thursday a tea was provided at which a goodly number attended considering the inclement weather. Afterwards a public meeting was held, presided over by Mr. J. Clayton of Newark. Short addresses were delivered by Messrs Henry Ash and C Brashier, Newark, and solos and a quartette were rendered by friends from Carlton, assisted by Mr. J. Chambers, Newark. Mr. Stones, to whom much of the credit is due for organising this annual event, gave a report on the financial state of the denomination, which for a small village is very satisfactory. Thanks were tendered to all who helped to make the meeting a success. A coffee supper was held at the close.  "LOST IN PARIS," on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday Nights.
