Our Chapel was opened in 1868 and is a listed building.  The present premises replaced a chapel which was built in 1796 on a site not far from the present one. That building served as both worship centre and as the local school until Featherbank School was opened.  Although Methodism was not brought to Horsforth by John Wesley he did preach in the village and in the old Bell Chapel which stood on the Green.

Music at the Grove

There has always been a strong music tradition at the Grove.  Our organ, Rushworth and Dreaper (1934) with 1700 pipes, is one of the best in the District.  Our Choir not only leads worship but also performs extended works.  We are eager to see our tradition develop and are keen to welcome singers and musicians.
