Church Building
Horton Bank Methodist Church began on its present site in 1871 in a small wooden chapel. Increased demand led to the building of the present church in 1926 and the community building from 1961. Further demand means that the premises have recently been upgraded to meet the needs of present and potential users in the 21st century.
