Broadmayne Methodist Church

Built in 1865 at a cost of about £300, the building was registered as a place of worship in 1867 and licensed for marriages in 1919. The schoolroom was erected in 1921 at the rear of the church and was used not only for Sunday School work, but for the sisterhood, mid-week fellowship, church business meetings, etc.

The Methodist Church in Broadmayne, like many small village societies has had its low points, and in fact during the 1980s, was near to closing. However, as we approach the end of the twentieth century and after a lot of work and self-help by volunteers, the interior of both the church and schoolroom have been refurbished, and electrics brought up to date to comply with the latest legal requirements for buildings of this type and use. Now, under the ministry of the Reverends Barrie Snook and David Bumphrey, attendance at services has improved and averages about fifteen. So, as we approach the new Millennium, we believe the Methodist Church has a future in the village and will continue its work for God and the wider Christian World for many years to come.
