The first Methodist chapel on Corby Road was built in 1808. A larger chapel was added alongside in 1878, with the opening service taking place on April 13, 1879. The old chapel then became the Methodist Schoolroom. See also Methodist Band and Cottingham Feast

Sadly, the Methodist Church was declared ‘Mission Served’ and closed its doors in 2021. The pictures below show the last wedding that took pace at the Methodist Church between Jamie and Samantha Bradshaw in August 2016, and the bunch of golden roses and note left on the door of the church in August 2021.
