Yarm Methodist Church is a special church in the town of Yarm, England. It is part of the Methodist Church of Great Britain. This church is unique because it is shaped like an octagon, meaning it has eight sides.

History and Unique Shape

The church was built a long time ago, in 1763. A very important person in the Methodist faith, John Wesley, visited this church. He wrote in his journal about preaching there. He said the church was "by far the most elegant in England." He also noted that a large group of people came to listen to him preach early in the morning.

The church is located in the Borough of Stockton-on-Tees. It is managed as part of the Stockton Circuit, which is a group of Methodist churches in the Darlington area.
