Harriseahead history

---

Mow Cop Castle is on top of a hill just under a mile north of the village. It has been in the care of the National Trust since 1937, but has a history linking it with Methodism. The County of Staffordshire is about as far inland as any county of the UK.

Harriseahead in 1841

The census of 1841 showed that the village of Harriseahead had a population of some 578 persons. Of the population only 35.8% were in work. The landscape still exhibits features of its former industrial heritage.

Links with Methodism

The link with Methodism came when Hugh Bourne moved to Harriseahead in 1800, having bought an oak woodland there to supply pit props in Stonetrough Colliery. In 1801 to 1802 he built a Methodist Chapel which became the centre of Methodist activity in that area and beyond. The Primitive Methodist movement grew out of this. The chapel closed in October 2018, holding a final service which was very well attended.
