Church History

It was founded before 1807.

Hillside Methodist Church was built in 1899 on the original site of the first Methodist chapel in Brinscall. This arose out of a need for larger premises to accommodate an expanding congregation.

The cost of the building was £3540.3s.7d. This sum was raised by members of the local community, along with large donations from prominent families within the area, notably the Parke family who owned the local cotton mill and who also provided the local swimming pool (still in use and much loved) and a hospital, now converted into housing.

This site provides historical information about churches, other places of worship and cemeteries. It has no connection with the churches etc. themselves. For current information you should contact them directly.

Church Records

Whilst every effort has been made to record exact details of record office and library holdings you are recommended to check with them before visiting to ensure that they do hold the records and years you wish to examine. Similarly check with transcript publishers to ensure they cover the records and years you require before making a purchase.
