Church History

A mission church under St. Luke's which originated in a temporary building in 1874. It kept own registers from 1894. A re-opening service after closure for renovation was held on 14 May 1896. The original church was destroyed by fire in 1966. A replacement hall-church opened on 9 September 1967. The building has been shared with Roose Methodists from 1991 (following closure of Stonedyke Methodist Chapel). Hall was used by Ministry of Munitions to accommodate navvies working at Roose, 1917-18. Has also been used by nearby Roose School.
