Pilgrims Way Methodists & Congregational Church (London)

 church  Add category

Also known as East Ham Congregational Church.

In 1870 Methodists first met in East Ham in a small building in Market Street. In 1880 a brick structure was erected in the Barking Road next door to the Town Hall. By 1903 the congregation had outgrown this building (East Ham's population was rapidly expanding) so the church met in East Ham Town Hall, while a new church was being built. In 1906 the Wesleyan Central Hall was opened, at a cost of £25,184.

The great hall accommodated 2,500 people. The rostrum had uninterrupted vision from all ground floor and gallery seats. There were school rooms, club rooms, vestries, kitchens and accommodation covering every church activity.
