Church History
It was founded before 1895.
It is now closed, but we do not know the date of closure .
In 1907 the United Methodist Free Church merged with the Methodist New Connexion and the Bible
Christians to form the United Methodist Church.
In 1932 the United Methodists joined with the Wesleyan Methodists and the Primitive
Methodists to form the Methodist Church of Great Britain.
The church was located at OS grid reference SD793110. You can see this on maps provided by:

Help required
The information provided has been obtained from a number of sources and although every
effort is made to avoid errors, just a few may be present. So if there are any please let
us know. [
Use the link at the bottom of this page].
We do not currently have the following information, and if you can provide it then
please do so:
- We think we have the exact location of the church.
If not please look at the
Google map
and drag the church icon to the correct location. A balloon will then pop up, on which you will find a link
to report the correct value.
If you are on a slow connection Google maps can be slow, so an alternative is to select the following map link,
and use the instructions for passing on map locations.
That should enable us to determine the exact location. Use the contact link at the end of this page
to send us an email, and paste in the URL you have selected.

If the exact location is correct, then please confirm that, and we can then remove this question.
- We know the church has closed but do not know in which year this happened.
- We only have the earliest date the church was mentioned in records.
Do you know in which year it was founded?
- Have you any details about the history of the church?
Old directories frequently contain such information, and if you can
transcribe such information and let us have it, we can add it to this page.
- Who holds the records of baptisms, marriages or burials?
Have any transcripts of the registers been published?
If you have any further information about the church that you think
would be useful to other researchers then do get in touch.
Find help, report problems, and contribute information.
