SS2107 : Flexbury Park Methodist Church, Bude

taken 15 years ago, near to Flexbury, Cornwall, England

Flexbury Park Methodist Church, Bude
Flexbury Park Methodist Church, Bude
This was opened in March 1905, and became a United Methodist Church after the amalgamation of the Bible Christians and Free Methodists in 1908. The architect was John Pethick and the builders the Petherick Brothers, a local firm. The facing stones are of limestone, and the 24m spire is sheathed with copper. The spire was damaged by a gale in 1991, and rebuilt after much fund-raising. There are now more structural problems as c. 2008 the Environment Agency constructed a culvert close to the church, and ominous cracks have since appeared in the stonework.
