One Hundred Years Ago 1925

This year (2025), Great Wyrley Wesley Methodist Church are celebrating their 100th year in the current building. In 1925, when the new building was opened, the church published a souvenir book entitled “A Short History of Wesleyan Methodism at Wyrley”, written by Mr Thomas Sambrook, a member of the church. As part of the celebrations this book has been reproduced, an introduction written and extra photographs added at the end. It is a delightful book that tells an earlier story of life in Great Wyrley, the photographs of the people involved are gloriously “old-fashioned” well worth reading. It is priced at only £5.00 per copy (possibly the bargain of the century). You can obtain a book from Great Wyrley Wesley Methodist Church on Wednesday’s between 9:30am – 3:00pm. Or contact either: Pat Jones on 01922 412094 or John Devey on 01922 412008.
