Nailsea Methodist Church

Nailsea primarily began life as a mining town in the eighteenth century and unsurprisingly has a long history of worship. Methodism was a strong component of the population and a chapel was built in 1792 on another site. This grew and a new chapel was built here in 1914, which proved popular. However, with the rapid expansion of the town post-war it was felt that the community was in need of more facilities. MYCON (Methodist Youth Club of Nailsea) was built principally as a youth centre in 1965, which also proved well used. But even that appeared insufficient. In 1994 a totally new building that we see today was founded which combined roles as a church and community centre.
