At the time the plaque was presented Boundary Road would have been part of Primitive Methodism. The plaque was transferred from Boundary Road to Hatfield Road Methodist Church in July 1987 when Boundary Road was closed and sold. Members of Boundary Road transferred their membership to Hatfield Road at that time.
