188 Years of The Stanhill Methodist Church

Introduction 188 years of the Stanhill Methodist Church into a small booklet a challenge indeed !!

Some information has been taken from the Centenary and the 150th Anniversary booklets.

And some memories of events will be recorded from 1987 to 2025. It has been impossible to include every detail.

From the Centenary Booklet:

In the late 1700’s Local Preachers from Blackburn came to Stanhill and established a small society in the village.

In 1811 the society numbered 33 members but then it gradually decreased and led to its final abandonment as a preaching place in 1835.
