Twickenham Methodist Church is a former Methodist church on Queens Road, Twickenham in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames. It closed for worship in December 2016.

History

[edit]
Foundation stone

The foundation stone for the chapel was laid on 13 July 1880. The architect was Charles Bell (1846–99), who specialised in designing Wesleyan Methodist chapels.[1] It replaced the previous Methodist chapel on Holly Road becoming, at the time, the only non-Anglican place of worship in Twickenham[2] and was constructed by the building firm T and W Hickinbotham.[2]

The chapel became the hall and Sunday school when a new church, the Christ Church, was added in 1899.[3] The Christ Church building was demolished in 1986.[2]

The church closed in December 2016.[4]
