The '''Protestant Methodists''' were a small [[Methodist]] [[Church body|church]] based in [[Leeds]]. They left the Methodist conference in 1827 in protest at the installation of an [[church organ|organ]] in [[Brunswick Chapel]] in [[Leeds]]. This grew into a wider dispute around the style of government of the conference, though it continued to be known as the Leeds Organ Dispute. The Protestant Methodists constituted themselves as a separate body in 1828.
