Irish Methodist Churches

Round the Churches

Between 1998 and 2009 the Irish Methodist periodical the Methodist Newsletter ran each month a series of articles called ‘Round the Churches’ which 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 and congregations have put in place plans which were only anticipated at the time of the original article. However these pen sketches and line drawings still are of much interest.
