Heptonstall Methodist Church. John Wesley laid the foundation stone in 1764, and the church has been in continuous use ever since - the longest continuous use history for any Methodist church anywhere. The congregation was founded earlier, as this plaque explains. SD 987 281. Both © Michael Bourne. Link.

St. Thomas the Apostle. In the same grounds, the ruin of St. Thomas à Beckett. Both © Geoff Wardle. An old postcard showing both churches, from Steve Bulman's Collection. Another old postcard showing the ruins, from John Bowdler's Collection. Link.
