Crawshawbooth: Former Methodist Church
Image: © Dr Neil Clifton Taken: 9 Jun 2011
This is the former Rakefoot Wesleyan Methodist Church, no longer used for religious purposes. Presumably the Methodists found that the upkeep of this large church was too expensive, so they moved round the corner to the York Street premises. Just when this move took place, I do not know. I am indebted to Richard Hoare for help with this image.
