Dayhouse Bank Chapel
There was little challenge to the authority of the established church in Romsley until a small group of independents began to meet at Dayhouse Bank about 1811. This group later joined the Primitive Methodists from Bromsgrove, who won converts amongst the agricultural labourers and nailers at their camp meetings, often held on village greens like Romsley Hill.
Their chapel at Dayhouse Bank was rebuilt in 1873, when Mary Ann Cooks, daughter of a well-to-do farmer on Romsley Hill, laid the foundation stone. The Dayhouse Bank Chapel can be seen just behind the cottage on the right of this photograph. It was closed as recently as 1965.
