Church History

It was founded in 1876. Erected in 1902 at a cost of £9,000 to replace a small iron Wesleyan Methodist chapel which had opened in 1876.

In 1991 it was joined by the congregation from the nearby Emmanuel Congregational/United Reformed Church [q.v.] and was re-named the Trinity Church Centre, operating in partnership with both denominations.

In 2013 the building was up for sale for residential development.

The Wesleyan Methodist church was formed in the 18th century from religious societies founded by John Wesley and his preachers. It suffered many secessions, but was the largest Nonconformist denomination in the 19th century. In 1932 the Wesleyan Methodists joined with the Primitive Methodists and the United Methodists to form the Methodist Church of Great Britain.
