High Park Rd United Methodist Free Church, Southport

It was founded before 1885. It is now closed, but we do not know the date of closure.

Bland in his "Annals of Southport" has an entry for April 24th 1885, when "Memorial stones" were laid by the Mayoress (Mrs Pilkington), Mrs G Mansell, Mrs S W Higginbottom, and Mr J J Barlow.

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.
