Broad Street Methodist Church, Spalding



A warm welcome awaits you at our Town Centre Church conveniently located for shops, car parks, South Holland Centre and the other facilities you would expect in a market town.

The first Methodist Chapel built on this site, formerly the site of a gaol, in the 1820’s gave way to the present building opened in March 1887. This was followed shortly by the addition of the large hall and other premises adjoining. It is a fine example of a Victorian Wesleyan Methodist Chapel, is now Grade II listed, and is well worth a visit.

Being in the heart of the town, our Church is very much part of the community. We are now in the process of starting a new exciting phase that will see Broad Street Methodist Church continue to play a vital part in Spalding’s daily life.

We would love to see you at any of our events and details of our regular activities can be found inside.

Minister   Rev Margaret Mwailu
