Dullingham has an interesting record of religious nonconformity.  There were seven dissenters in 1676 and a few, unbaptised, in 1728.  A house was registered for dissenting worship in 1736.  No further dissenters were recorded until the 1820’s when a group of Wesleyans began to worship in a cottage.  In 1825 they bought a piece of land facing the village green to build a chapel.  The chapel, which still stands today, was opened in 1826.  In 1851 the minister claimed a congregation of 130.  The chapel is now in private ownership.
