More about this scene
The foundation stone was laid here on 15 May 1869, when it was anticipated that Heywood Road would go through to Heywood, but a large bog prevented this and the church remained on a quiet road. Even so, extra classrooms were built in 1889. The corrugated iron building was purchased in 1959 to house the Sunday School, but it was later moved by the Scouts and Cubs to use as their HQ. The church became Castleton United Reformed Church, and the listed building is currently up for sale (summer 2004). The remaining 15 to 20 members hope to join Castleton Moor Methodists.
