Cloughfold Wesleyan Methodist Church
North Road, Cloughfold
On 9th July 1868 a small group of friends from Longholme
Wesleyan Methodist held a meeting at 14 Dobbin
Lane, Cloughfold. This was in effect a branch of
Longholme and continued to grow in size until in
1872 when the cottage became to small for the
numbers attending and it was transferred to the
assembly room of the Cawl-terrace Industrial
Society until a new church could be built. The
land on which the new church was built was given
by Miss Kay the sister of Mr. John Robinson Kay,
a mill owner and prominent Wesleyan from Bury.
The corner stone for the church was laid on the
12th September 1874 by Mrs. Mary Hamer Hoyle
daughter of John Robinson Kay and the first
service was held on the 18th August 1875 |
