Church History

It was founded in 1913. It closed in 1989. It opened 1904-05 and closed Sept. 1989. It was sold in 1990, being converted for residential use. The congregation merged with Abbey Methodist Church.

Early directories indicate that a Methodist mission at Piel (Roa Island) was linked to this church.

The Wesleyan Methodist church was formed in the 18th century from religous societies founded by John Wesley and his preachers. It suffered many secessions, but was the largest Nonconformist denomination in the 19th century. In 1932 the Wesleyan Methodists joined with the Primitive Methodists and the United Methodists to form the Methodist Church of Great Britain.
