Our History

The Church is built on a site, ownership of which was the subject of a great struggle between a firm of brewers and the Temperance Movement at the turn of the 20th century.

Mr Marshall Jay bought the site to ensure victory for the temperance forces. The land was presented to the Primitive Methodist Connection, and with generous financial backing from Mr Jay, plus gifts and labour from members and friends, Christchurch, Springfield Road, was dedicated and opened on 20th March 1907.
