It was founded in 1863. The building shown is derelict inside but a listed building which causes great problems to the congregation. The building behind is what was the Methodist primary day school until the 70's and now houses the Church. The smaller building attached was the Mens Institute built as a Memorial to those lost in the First World War, now leased as a nursery.Church Records
