Wollaton Road Methodist Church, Beeston was a Methodist church on Wollaton Road, Beeston, Nottinghamshire from 1853 until 2014.
The church was first located on Wollaton Road in 1853 when the congregation purchased a Particular Baptist Chapel on Wollaton Road, Beeston[1] for £170 . In 1857 the chapel was prospering enough for the congregation to purchase a new pipe organ from Kirkland and Jardine of Manchester which was opened on Whit Sunday of that year.[2]
The foundation stones of the current building were laid on 3 August 1882 and the building was significantly enlarged and a new schoolroom was also built attached to the chapel.[3] This cost the sum of £1,200 .
As of 2014, the church merged with the congregation at Chilwell Road Methodist Church and the former site at Queen's Road went up for sale in 2018.
