The Methodist Church

There have been Methodists meeting in Styal since 1790. As the society grew, Robert Hyde Greg converted our present day building, from a Corn Store into a Chapel in the 1830’s. The congregations in those days were mainly mill workers.

The church community today is drawn from Styal village and the surrounding area. Styal Methodist Church offers you a warm welcome.
