In the beginning

In the beginning, (1887) Reginald Stanley, the local brick maker and businessman gave a part of his land to the local Wesleyan Methodists who built the octagonal church visible from the road today. In fact, Stanley’s mother laid one of the founding stones in memory of her husband, in a ceremony that involved tea and an evening meeting which raised £150, £15000 in today’s money! Note to self, as the new owners maybe we should sell tea and hold an evening meeting

Over the years a function room was added (1903) followed by a 20th-century kitchen and toilets. By 2009 the original chapel had been converted into a modern 4 bedroom property (with a massive function room attached!) In 2020, we bought it!
