Like many other mining towns, Methodists were big in Bedlington. They first occupied a site at the eastern end of the town in 1823 but, as congregations grew, they sought a more central site for a new church. This one, which was opened in 1893, sits forward of other buildings on this side of the street and is said to have been built on part of the village green. The building has now been converted to a house.
