The Methodist Church

The Methodist church was built in Church Street in 1829, 11 years before the Anglican church (Holy Trinity). It replaced the smaller old Chapel, an octagonal building at The Knoll, built in 1811 on the site of a former cock-fighting pit.

The present church has been modernised in recent years. It has its own schoolroom behind it.
