The Methodist Chapel

In a corner of Hawkshead’s main square stands the village’s Methodist Church. Located in a 15th century cottage, and converted into a place of worship in 1862, it is the oldest building used for Methodist worship in the world! It has changed very little since the early 1900s, and remains open on a daily basis for prayer and quiet meditation.
