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 look forward to Messy Church on the 24th June. Anyone is welcome but activities are geared towards young people aged 5 to 11 years. We always finish with a celebration/worship time and then buffet tea. Great fun is had by all.

Our Church meeting in June is open to all who are interested in our Church and the various activities. The meeting gives us an opportunity to report back and discuss any new ideas. Our minister will oversee the meeting.

Please continue to remember and pray for all that we are doing to share the love of God in our community.
