A century and counting...
Located in Radcliffe and Ainsworth Road, Wesley Methodist Church was built in 1900, when it was called St Paul’s, and was next to St Paul’s Methodist Primary School on its previous site on Alma Street. The original church had a spire which was a local landmark. In the 1960s the church and school changed their names to Wesley, as St Paul’s joined with some smaller Methodist churches in Radcliffe when these closed.
The old church building had got into poor condition, and was demolished in 2013, with the former Sunday school building becoming the new church. The lounge at the back of the old church was kept for the Sunday school (now called Junior Church).
Today it's recognisable wooden cross can be seen from Ainsworth road, welcoming all from the local community and beyond.
