Hanham Methodist Church has a vibrant history.

The area itself is of great historic significance with the green lighted beacon on Hanham Mount marking the location of free-church preaching in the 18th century, and where John Wesley, the founding father of Methodism was first inspired to preach in the open air in 1739.  The church itself, originally known as Ebenezer Methodist Church, was built in 1851 by local collier families and labourers. Since then it has undergone a number of transformations and developments.
