Streetly Methodist Church Centenary

On Saturday 18th September 1909 the stone laying ceremony took place for a new church near the end of Thornhill Road. Four months later the building was completed and the opening of a new Weslyan Church in Streetly took place on 20th January 2010.

The accounts published in 1910 show that the cost including land, building fees, furniture, fencing, and organ was £2079 12s 2d. The original intention was that the building opened in 1910 should eventually become the school hall and a larger Church be built on the remainder of the site.

The plan was modified over the years but just after the First World War it became apparent that extensions were needed, thus the Guild Hall was added in 1923 and the Chancel in 1931. Other major additions were the Church Parlour and the Caretaker's house in December 1936.

A Number of Centenary Activities are taking place throughout the year to which you are wearmly invited.
