Wesley Chapel United Methodist Church 46977 Wesley Chapel Road Richfield, North Carolina 28137 Located closer to Misenheimer than its Richfield mailing address might indicate, this rural church was built around 1890 and named after the founder of Methodism, John Wesley. The picturesque church depicted in this photograph was destroyed by fire on February 19, 1967. Construction on a new church began the following year; a modern, brick structure was completed in 1969.
