Note the ""signpost on the A158"", it's on the left as you head east from Lincoln area, just after the 2nd lot of traffic lights in Horncastle. Turn right on to Queen Street and you will see the chapel and car park.
This is a living church with a calm, light and airy chapel for worship, with a plain but beautiful wooden cross above the altar.
Though off the beaten track the building is easily accessible and marked by a large cross to the front.
Car parking available
Directions
QS Walking Buddies
The QS Walking Buddies is a group, formed at the church toward the end of 2022. Walks are organised and led by members of the church, usually in the local area, every two weeks. No more than 5 miles and of varying distance and levels of ‘difficulty’. Followed at, around noon, by meeting with other members who are unable to join the walk itself, but enjoy the opportunity to share in the ‘after walk’ refreshments. There is now a separate page where information about the walks is displayed. Contact Marion - marion@mmhome.me.uk for more information.
History of Methodism in Horncastle
The first Wesleyan Methodist chapel was built in 1786 in the district known as The Wong or Cagthorpe. It was replaced by a new chapel on the same site in 1806.
In 1837 a new chapel was built on Queen Street, which was in turn replaced by a new chapel on the same site in 1870. This chapel was found to be unsafe and closed in 1962.
It was replaced on the same site by the present chapel which opened in 1965. (During the re-building of the Queen Street premises, 1962-1965, the congregation worshipped at Holy Trinity Anglican Church).
