Lower Methodist Church
Faith
2
Built in 1717, this was the second lower chapel of Christ Church Parish in Middlesex County. It stands on the site of the parish's first lower chapel, built before 1661 as the church of Piankatank Parish. Bartholomew Yates was the first minister of the present church. After 1792, the church was unused except by Methodists or Baptists. In 1857, Robert Healy bought the church from the parish and gave it to the Methodists, who have worshipped here ever since.
