I have enjoyed compiling this personal history of Wollaton Road. If there are errors of fact or notable omissions, the author is entirely responsible.
But in going through the archives, I came across so many names, indeed generations of faithful members and ministers, who have contributed to the life of a much-loved church. We remember with thanks their commitment and loyal service.
Sometimes our outreach has extended well beyond Beeston. For example, in 2012, the then minister Colin Barrett and his wife Muriel, took a party of 22 people to visit Neudorf in Germany, where the couple had previously worked.
Returning from the enjoyable trip, Colin wrote: “We feel very much at home at Wollaton Road. You are a lovely group of Christians with a heart for mission and outreach . . .”
We hope that spirit will long continue under the Beeston Methodist Church banner. . .
