Cottingham Methodist Church, Corby Road, Cottingham

 

Minister:  Rev'd Margaret Eales

Sunday Afternoon Worship - 3.30 p.m.

The first Methodist Church in Cottingham was erected in 1808, and this building is now the Hall and used for social functions and is hired out to a number of organisation in the village, as well as regular meetings of the Mothers and Toddlers  every Thursday, Wesley guild meetings and Pensioners’ lunches. 

As 2008 will mark the 200^th Anniversary of Methodism in Cottingham, this will be celebrated with a number of special events including concerts, a Flower Festival in July, the return of several former ministers, and the highlight of the year being a visit from the President of Conference on June 22^nd. 

Although membership is only 22, mostly elderly folk, the Church has a core of people who work tirelessly to keep Methodism alive and well in Cottingham.  Anyone attending services or events in this Methodist Church is assured of a warm welcome. 

The Church building is typical of mid-eighteen hundreds with a balcony and the pulpit having pride of place.  The pipe organ is supposedly a fine example of the organs of village chapels in the mid-nineteenth century.

The church is situated on the Corby Road, Cottingham.
