The New Connexion Methodists, a sect which established one of the earliest churches and missions in South Australia, was founded by the Reverend James Maughan in 1862. 

The Hope Valley Methodists New Connexion Church was built of freestone quarried from Anstey Hill in 1867. It was the second, and last, permanent church building to be erected by the New Connexion Methodists Church in South Australia. In 1876 the building was sold to the Primitive Methodist Society and continued to be used as a Methodist church and Sunday school until 1973. The closing service of this church was held on September 30 1973, following the opening of a new Hope Valley Methodist Church. The building was later owned by the North East Alliance Church.

An historic landmark in the Hope Valley area, the remaining Hope Valley Chapel represents South Australia's only surviving church built by the New Connexion Methodists. In recognition of this, the main part of the building has been retained and the original steeply pitched corrugated iron gable roof to the church has been re-instated. A pair of lancet windows and a vertical eye shaped window over the paired lancet windows, a grouping reminiscent of the early English style, has been preserved in the restored western facade. The old door has been used as a feature in the new entrance and timbers from the original ceiling form part of the reception counter. The original floor boards have been polished and left partially exposed to recreate an ambience of the era.

"Pedare", the clinic name borrowed from Hope Valley's heritage as a wine growing and wine and brandy making tradition, originates from Mr Douglas A Tolley who, in 1891, established a vineyard in the area. The name is derived from the first two letters of the names of his three grandsons: Peter, David, and Reg. The name was subsequently given to a new Tolley vineyard in Ladywood Drive, Modbury and later applied to the firm's premium wines.

On the 15th of September 1997, the Pedare Medical Clinic opened its doors to the first patient.
