Palermo Cemetery - Trafalgar Chapel, Methodist Episcopal Church
In 1808 Elder William Case, of the Ancaster Circuit of the Methodist Episcopal Church, began to preach in the homes of Pioneers of Trafalgar Township. This property was deeded in 1819 for a burial ground and a meeting house. By 1824, the Trafalgar Chapel had been built here. The Methodist Episcopal Church in Canada united with the Wesleyan Methodist Church of Great Britain in 1833 to form the Wesleyan Methodist Church in Canada. However, several dissident preachers met here on March 10, 1834 to organize a continuing Methodist Episcopal Church. On June 27, 1835 in the chapel the Rev. John Reynolds was elected and consecrated to the Office of Bishop. A Wesleyan Methodist Chapel was also built on the site in 1848. Both were replaced in 1869 by the present church a short distance to the west now known as Palermo United Church. Erected by the Canadian Methodist Historical Society - 1997
