The Churches of Britain and Ireland
Heptonstall, West Yorkshire
Heptonstall Methodist Church. John Wesley laid the foundation stone in 1764, and the church has been in continuous use ever since - the longest continuous use history for any Methodist church anywhere. The congregation was founded earlier, as this plaque explains. SD 987 281. Both © Michael Bourne. Interior view, © Stuart Mackrell. Link. Grade II* listed - link. St. Thomas the Apostle.
