Notes

John Wesley preached in Marlborough in 1745 and 1747 but it was not until 1811 that George Pocock certified a Methodist chapel in Oxford Street. It was well supported in the mid 19th century and in 1872 the chapel was extended. It was rebuilt in 1910 with the entrance in New Road and from then on was called the New Road Chapel. From 1979 the Superintendent Minister also served the United Reformed Church. The chapel is now called Christchurch Methodist and United Reform Church.
