Church History

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 Men's Institute built as a Memorial to those lost in the First World War, now leased as a nursery.

Church Records

Whilst every effort has been made to record exact details of record office and library holdings you are recommended to check with them before visiting to ensure that they do hold the records and years you wish to examine. Similarly check with transcript publishers to ensure they cover the records and years you require before making a purchase.

A copy of the Baptism register is in Shaw library.
