The ‘New’ Lichfield Wesleyan Methodist Church, located on Tamworth Street, was opened on April 20th 1892. It was built in Victorian Gothic Ornamental style to the design of Thomas Guest of Birmingham. The church buildings were refurbished in 1998/1999 and again in 2012. The photographs below show the original building and the 2012 refurbishment. A fuller history of the church 1892-2012 can be found in the booklets referred to below.
