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.
