Round the Churches

Between 1998 and 2009 the Irish Methodist monthly, the Methodist Newsletter, ran a series of articles called ‘Round the Churches’ that featured a line drawing and brief history of many Irish Methodist congregations. In some instances, since the original article was published, the buildings have been altered or even closed. In other cases congregations have put in place plans that were only anticipated at the time of the original article. Because these brief histories were first published up to twenty-seven years ago, it should be kept in mind that the information may be out of date, though of historic interest.
