Castle Street Methodist Church is a Methodist church located on Castle Street, Cambridge, England.
Castle Street is one of thirteen churches in the Cambridge Methodist Circuit.[1]
It is a working church with a morning service each Sunday at 10:00, and an evening service on the second Sunday of the month.[2] There are 63 members and the minister is The Revd J Pathmaraja.[3]
The first church on the site was converted from a cottage by Primitive Methodists. The first purpose-built chapel constructed in 1823, then rebuilt in 1841 and in 1863. A completely new building, designed by Augustus Frederic Scott was built in 1914[4] and gained Grade II listed status in 2003.[5]
In 2010 it underwent a major refurbishment which included improved accessibility, sound system and a new organ console,[6] though with the original 1929 Binns organ being retained.
It is a member of the 'Church at Castle' ecumenical partnership with St Augustine's, St Giles' (Anglican), St Luke's (Anglican/URC) and St Peter's.[7]
