Who we are
WELCOME TO Stanwood Methodist Church ! !
We are a fairly small Church with a membership of 25. Situated in the Stannington area of Sheffield. We are part of the Sheffield (West) Methodist Circuit.
The Church building is bounded by Stannington Road, Stanwood Road and Stanwood Drive.
As followers of Jesus Christ we are called to love and worship God and pray for the community in which He has placed us, as well as for the wider world.
A Brief History of Stanwood Methodist Church
Primitive Methodism came to the area in 1855 when the first converts met in cottages in the district. In 1860 Woodland View Primitive Methodist Chapel was opened on Stannington Road on a site donated by Mrs Armitage, the wife of a local mill owner. The building work cost £424-19-0d. In 1881 the premises were extended to include a vestry, primary schoolroom and a kitchen.
For the first three years the Society was under the care of Matthew Boyes who had fought in the Peninsular War under Wellington, but had by this time been a Local Preacher for 40 years.
A religious census of Sheffield in 1881 gave Woodland View as having seating for 100 with 49 attending morning worship and 50 in the evening.
The work continued with highs and lows until 1972. In the 50s and 60s a great deal of work was being done with children and young people in what was effectively one room and a small upstairs schoolroom. Sheffield Corporation were also talking of widening Stannington Road which would involve removing the Chapel frontage. At the same time a great deal of house building was taking pace a little further up the hill. All these factors prompted the Society to build new premises about ¾ mile higher up the hill at a cost of £33,089.63 and rename it Stanwood Methodist Church.
Since 1972 the work has progressed among children, young people and adults but at the centre has always been a worshipping community who are constantly seeking God's will for the Church.
The history of the buildings known as Woodland View Chapel and Stanwood Chapel is bound up with the history of this part of Sheffield and with changes in society over the last 150 years but the main concern of the people at both Chapels has been with the worshipping life of God's people and of seeking to bring others into a knowledge of Christ's saving grace.
