The Methodist society at Roborough started with the holding of weekly fellowship meetings when it was decided that it was strong enough to have its own Sunday services. The first Sunday Evening Service was held on 7th January 1951 when the opening hymn was “O for a thousand tongues to sing”. The new Roborough Methodist Church was formed.
The raising of funds began to build a church in Roborough and the problem of finding a suitable site was solved by the unexpected and generous gift of land by Lord Roborough.
So began the building of the church. The foundation stone was laid on Wednesday 27th January 1960 by Mr George Tamblin and the church was officially opened on Thursday 15th December 1960.
