Buttershaw had a class in the Methodist society although membership is only known for the year 1797. There was a single class of 15 members possibly under the leadership of John Turner who appears at the top of the list.

The list here is extracted from entries in the books of the Methodist Society in Bradford Archives. The unlined and unnumbered pages carry the information of all the local societies in the Bradford area and sometimes beyond.
There are wide variations in the spelling of names in these books. We have standardised the names here but spelling variations are listed under the 'Notes' column. The listings were usually made in June. The records only give a name and surname.
