The site was obtained from Lord Ravensworth on a 999 year lease for an annual rent of £2. The new United Methodist Chapel opened on 20th August 1910. It was built by William Hockey of Whickham to designs by Karl B Spurgin, Newcastle architect. It cost £1,210. The Douglas family of Lingyfine had private pews, paid for by quarterly subscription. A secondhand organ was bought for £275 and installed in 1922 to replace the piano. An electric organ was installed in 1955. In 1960 the choir vestry was enlarged.
