Queen Street Methodist Church, Lurgan

The first Methodist Chapel was opened in a small house in Nettleton's Court, Queen Street by the Rev. John Wesley on 19th June 1778. By 1802 this chapel became too small for the congregation and a new chapel was built in High Street, parallel to the street and to the rear of where the present church now stands. Image In 1823 a Primitive Methodist chapel was built in Castle Lane. A mission of Methodist New Connexion opened in Lurgan in 1841 but seemed to have faded out by 1856. In that year the New Connexion chapel was acquired by the Primitive Methodist. This building is now the Queen Street Methodist Church. The Wesleyan Methodist and the Primitive Methodist united in June 1878 to form The Methodist Church in Ireland.
