FRIENDS OF TALBOT LANE METHODIST CHURCH ROTHERHAM
There
are pictures of the exterior and interior of the building included in
Talbot Lane – the building history page,
History of the site and
Pictorial tour.
As church congregations dwindle, it becomes harder and harder for them to cover
the costs of upkeep, more so with elderly and unique buildings, sometimes to the
extent that the building is closed, and even demolished, a fate that we believe
is too much to contemplate for such a fine Grade 2
listed
building. The galleried auditorium can seat over 800, the
largest capacity in Rotherham.
The building houses an original Harrison & Harrison pipe organ built in 1904, and was first played on the 8th March at a dedication service.
