There has been a Methodist church on this site since 1775. It served until 1859 when it was replaced by the present building. John Wesley himself visited the town (at the time known as Midsummer Norton) but was less than impressed by the poor state of the roads. Indeed, he wrote in his journal "It is so called, I suppose, because formerly it was accessible at no other time of the year!" The Methodist Centre is to the left of shot.
