The picture shows the Certificate licensing the church for the solemnisation of marriages, issued in 1898.
When Methodist Union took place in 1932, the Wesleyan and Primitive Churches in the village joined together for worship in the present building. In 1975 an extension was added to the schoolroom, providing new kitchen and toilet facilities.
In 1989 it became necessary to renew the entire roof. Two months after the work was complete, it was discovered that wet rot had spread among the joists below the church floor. This necessitated a complete new floor, involving the removal of pews and organ.
Since this was going to be a great upheaval, the members were invited to take a fresh look at the worship area.
After many consultations with the members who come to worship, it was decided to enlarge the sanctuary and refurbish it, at the same time altering the entrance to make one central door into the church.
The refurbishment made the building lighter and more spacious and has added to the prayerful atmosphere which had long been a feature of the church.
