my great grandparents were married in John Street Chapel, Sheffield and according to their marriage certificate it says Primitive Methodist Chapel, could this mean they were Methodists?
And I wonder if the chapel is still there in Sheffield?

A little piece of the church history:-
the church secretary wrote a book of the history of the church,in the 1980's called "Three Names, One Church, A History of Sharrow St Johns Church"
the church was originally a "Methodist New Connexion" chapel, built in about 1889, the congregation outgrew the original chapel, so in 1906, a hundred years ago this year, there was opened a new, bigger sanctuary, with the original becoming a church hall.
in WWII, John Street methodist chapel

was bombed, and the congregations joined together, adding the name of john st chapel to Sharrow's.
