History of Lenton Methodist Church
Lenton Methodist Church first opened its doors in 1914. It was designed by a local architect named Albert Edward Lambert. The building cost about £4,500 to construct back then. This was a very large sum of money at the time!
The church was built to hold many people. It had seating for 450 worshippers. There was also a special schoolroom attached to the church. This room could fit 300 children.
In the early 2000s, the church hall found a new purpose. It was adapted for use by another church group called God's Vineyard Church.
The Church Organ
Lenton Methodist Church has a special musical instrument called a pipe organ. This organ was built by Charles Lloyd.
The organ was not originally built for this church. It was moved here in 1939. A company called E. Wragg & Son carefully moved it from another place called Crocus Street Hall. You can find detailed information about this organ on the National Pipe Organ Register.
