Photograph taken October 2023

This large Church building is situated on the A695. (Main Street). It dates from 1907 (photo 3), although opened in 1906. It succeeds a previous building built only ten years earlier, which became insufficient for the needs of the congregation. The new church building was ‘squeezed’ into a constricted site and built of golden snecked sandstone blocks. It has some very attractive windows some featuring coloured leaded glass. It has a Welsh slate roof and terracotta ridge tiles. (photo 4).

To the rear and at right angles to the main Church building is what maybe a Church Hall, built with identical building materials possibly at the same date? (photo 4).

In 2023 the Church is still open for worship, and has week-day activities and meetings.
