Methodism in Strensall
The first Wesleyan Chapel in Strensall was built in Church Lane in 1823 at a cost of £150. When the Methodist Church split a Primitive Methodist chapel was built between 1879/1889 on the site of two cottages in the village.
The original building was a single storey but when it was converted into a private house the roof was raised and an upper storey added. It is now No 6 The Village.
The present Methodist Chapel was built on the site of the village pinfold in 1895 at a cost of £900 with seating for 130 people. The Wesleyan Chapel in Church Lane then became known as St Mary's hall and was used for religious and temperance meetings. It later became a branch of the Yorkshire Penny Bank which opened on Monday mornings. It is now disused.
In 1993 a hall at the back of the church was built to commemorate William Warrener, who was Mr Wesley's first missionary to Antigua in 1786.
The church as you see it today was renovated at a cost of £170,000 by removing the pews, levelling the floor, adding a new heating system, heating insulation and creating a small kitchenette so that a "Drop in" centre could be opened.
The re-opening was in May 2007.
