The Mumbles : Mumbles Methodist Church

Image: © Lewis Clarke Taken: 23 Mar 2014

A place of worship has existed on the site of the present church building since 1814 when a Methodist Preaching House was built in the garden of Mr. William Tucker. It was soon considered inadequate and a second building was opened on the 7th July 1861. Within 3 years the congregation rapidly increased and a larger building was again being considered. However it was not until 1877 that the foundation stone of the present building laid on the 12th July 1877, and it was opened on the 23rd May 1878. During 1988 further improvements were made to the front church foyer and improved access to the rear of the church.
