Welcome to Sutton Village Church

A Brief History

Sutton Village Church was first established in 1884 at 107 Herbert Street, Sutton (land now occupied by part of the current car park). Work commenced on the current building in 1891.  The Building was extended in 1910, and the 2 storey extension housing the Kitchen and Sunday School rooms added in 1962.  Finally, the Car Park was added in 1980. 

Can you tell which bits which?  There are many little clues around the building that indicate past changes. 

In the last 120 Years, the Church has seen a great many characters, and is fondly regarded in the Community in which it is situated

Sutton Village Church Today

We are rapidly coming to a close in the latest chapter of the chapel's history. 

Over the past eight years, we have seen a extensive programme of refurbishment in the Building.  This was partially driven by the amount of maintenance needed to the very fabric of such an old building.  Some of the most extensive works have been in the main meeting area, where the wooden floor was removed and replaced by a solid one.  This has provided us with a versatile and airy space,  with an abundance of natural light in which to hold meetings.  Modern, comfortable furniture also contributes to your visit.  Elsewhere in the building, the kitchen and Foyer area have been modernised extensively. 

Facilities for the disabled have been improved also, including ground-level access, disabled facilities and a modern loop induction system to assist the hard of hearing.  Crèche facilities are available during all Services,

A range of modern AV equipment is available - including CD and Tape equipment.  Visitors are invited to use this - however, please contact us in advance to discuss your requirements.  This will enable us ensure that your visit runs smoothly.

We have a wide and varied programme of meetings and events for all-ages during the week - see our diary page for more details.
