Overview

The Methodist church at Parkham was erected upon private land graciously provided by Mr. Joseph Cox. This noble endeavor was made possible through the generous contributions of the church's congregation and the wider community, who collectively funded its construction.

In September of 1891, the Parkham Methodist Church was officially opened by the esteemed Rev. W. Wykes, with the assistance of Rev. J. Stafford from Deloraine. In a gesture of profound generosity, Rev. Stafford graciously donated a Holy Bible to the congregation. Sunday services were held until the 1960s and Sunday School classes for many years.

At the close of 1973, the church ceased operations and the property was subsequently placed on the market.
