OUR HISTORY
First of all, it was on Sunday 8 September 1974 that The United Church celebrated its formation. Therefore, a special service was held at which representatives of the City, the Methodist District and the URC Synod were present.
During the early 1970s, the Winchester Methodist churches began to work closely with the United Reformed Church in Jewry Street. So, after lengthy discussions led by the ministers, the Revd Wallace White (Methodist) and the Revd David James (URC), consequently the congregations resolved to unite in one set of premises.
Due to the Jewry Street building being the largest of the three it was chosen, also in view of its position to effectively connect with the life of the city. A key aspect of the agreement was to seek a redevelopment of the building. After several false starts and much negotiation and fund-raising, this finally took place between 1989–91.
