The church building was erected during 1870 and 1871 as a Christian Mission and dedicated by William Booth in 1871. William Booth is better known as General Booth of the Salvation Army, which he later founded. His wife, Catherine, laid the foundation stone on Thursday, July 6th, 1871.

The church became a United Methodist Chapel in 1907 and on the occasion of the Methodist Union in 1932 three branches of the Methodist Church, the Wesleyan, the Primitive and the United joined to become one church denomination.

In 1958 the Church was extensively renovated. In 1979 a hall and kitchen were added and this was fully modernised in 2013. The hall is now a popular venue for many church and village activities.

We have an interesting programme of worship & events for March & invite you to come along whenever you can.

Our regular Sunday worship is relaxed & friendly and we are fortunate to have excellent speakers leading our worship-time + some good singing. It is good to worship God.

In March we have another of our series of informal discussion groups when we will look at our experiences of the National Health Service and its care in the community – not to be missed & an opportunity for a church to reflect on community service & action.

Later  in the month  Messy Church, in preparation for Easter, will focus on  ‘Jesus changes the world’.  Messy Church is open to all ages and last  month  27 people came,  including 16 young  people.  We always finish with a meal and a worship celebration.

We hope that Tricia will enjoy a very rewarding & meaningful  Sabbatical , for 3 months , & we look forward to having her & Dave back with us again in June. Every blessing to you both.
