Wollaton Road Methodist Church, Beeston was a Christian church in Beeston, Nottinghamshire. It served the community from 1853 until 2014. The church was located on Wollaton Road, Beeston.
A Look at the Church's History
The church started its journey on Wollaton Road in 1853. At that time, the church community bought a building. It was a chapel that belonged to a group called Particular Baptists. They paid £170 for it.
By 1857, the church was doing very well. The community decided to buy a new pipe organ. This special musical instrument came from Kirkland and Jardine in Manchester. It was first played on Whit Sunday that year.
Building a Bigger Church
The first stones for a new, larger church building were laid on August 3, 1882. The church was made much bigger. A new schoolroom was also added next to the chapel. This big project cost about £1,200.
The Church Today
In 2014, Wollaton Road Methodist Church joined with another church. This was the congregation at Chilwell Road Methodist Church. The old church building on Queen's Road was put up for sale in 2018.
