Higham Old Methodist Chapel

Notices Community_news

This is part of the celebrations to mark the 100 year anniversary of Wheatley Lane Methodist Church.

The connections to the Methodist Church in Higham go back much further. The old Chapel dates back to 1812, although Methodists were already present in our community, as recorded in the Haworth Circuit, before any were recorded in Burnley or Colne. Higham Chapel history records that it was likely that John Wesley passed through Higham on his way to preach at Roughlee and Colne.

Please do go along and share in this moment of marking the history of Christianity in our village
