Winsley Methodist church
The church bears the date of 1902, and stands where other buildings stood previously. It also began a Sunday School, which faltered but was revived in the 1960s. Note the corner door, an unusual design for a village church.

Methodism in Winsley
Like many villages and towns in the region, Methodism was spread through the words of John and Charles Wesley. John arrived here in the 1740s and had breakfast before heading on to Bradford-on-Avon. His word was heard again once churches had been set up nearby by 1810. This church was founded in 1903.

The Seven Stars, Winsley
It was quite a climb (about 400' quite steep paths) up from the canal to reach The Seven Stars in Winsley, but well worth the walk for an excellent Sunday lunch - the beer was good too, and most welcome after the exertion of getting there!

Winsley Bowls Club
The club was founded through adversity, as the story goes. Fred Forster was an enthusiastic cyclist and footballer in the early 1900s, but suffered a broken legduring a game. Whilst convalescing, he watched a bowls match in Portsmouth and was entranced. On returning home he asked the owner of the large house to use his garden, who laid out three rinks. Hence the club was founded in 1903, now playing on the green just opposite the originals.
