Source: Glory be 1845-1945, commemorating the 100th anniversary of the opening of the first Wesleyan Chapel in Newcastle, P. 35; The Methodist 4 July 1911
Details: In 1887, when the late Rev. John Gardiner was Superintendent of the Newcastle circuit of the Wesleyan Methodist Church, and Wickham Church had been established 10 years, it was agreed to establish a church at Carrington. The Dangar Street Church Mission Band members visited the island each Sunday evening, and with the aid of kerosene flares conducted open air services at the Young Street railway gates. They were assisted by local residents. Later, services were conducted after open-air meetings in the Temperance Hall. On July 18, 1888, it was decided to erect a church in Hargrave-street. Tenders were called by architects Bennett and Yeomans for the erection and completion of a Primitive Methodist Chapel in Hargrave-street, Carrington in August 1888 (NMH 4 August 1888).The tidal waters were said to have lapped the front door of the church on the day it was opened. A Sunday School was soon established, with Mr. Fegan as superintendent. With Methodist Union (c. 1902?), the Primitive Methodist Church in Hargrave street/Gipps street was sold for £180. In 1908 - 1910, when Rev. G. H. Hewitt was superintendent, the church was moved to a site in Young-street. A Kindergarten hall was erected in 1918 at the cost of £293. In 1938 the jubilee services were held during the superintendency of Rev. Norman W. Lickiss.
