Methodist Church, Station Road, Westbury

John Wesley preached in Westbury in 1748 and 1749, attracting good numbers, but it was not until around 1809 that a Methodist chapel was built in the Warminster Road. The cost was £400 and the sum was raised by voluntary subscriptions. By 1904 the original chapel was too small for the congregation and a new site was bought at the end of Station Road. No building was allowed during the First World War and it was not until 1926 that the new chapel, in the form of a basilica with attached schoolroom, was opened. The earlier chapel became a masonic hall. In 1995 work started to update the premises and provide a coffee bar, kitchen and toilets while in the church itself the communion area was refurbished.
