Whalley Methodist Church

Whalley Methodist is unusual in having three important stained glass windows, each being memorial windows. The largest is a three-light lancet window depicting John and Charles Wesley, dating from about 1880 (see image). This window was paid for by church members as a memorial to former members. Sited opposite each other on the side walls are two single windows, one depicting Saint Francis, the other, the virgin Mary - this is unusual, if not unique, in a Methodist church. They were designed by Veronica Whall, an eminent craftswoman of the 20th century. Leaflets with further details of the church and windows will be available.

A special focus this year will be the hymns of Charles Wesley, a significant part of Methodist tradition, and which have been sung in this chapel for many generations. Our organist will be playing some of those hymns throughout the day.

There will be a Family Area in one of the church rooms, with soft play, tabletop toys, a floor Jenga, etc. Teas, coffee, and a light lunch will be available too.
