Wesley Centre, Harrogate

The building, a large Neo-Classical chapel, was designed and built by Lockwood & Mawson in 1862 for a prosperous Victorian Methodist community. It is now a Grade II listed church building and a dominant landmark in the town.

The organ, made by JJ Binns of Leeds, was installed in 1912 and accompanied a large choir and choirmaster.

Major redevelopments occurred in 1904, 1960 and 1994; the last of these brought the building in-line with disability access legislation, including ramp access and the installation of a lift. In 2014, Wesley Chapel in Harrogate became the Wesley Centre, under the auspices of the Nidd Valley Methodist Circuit and a management group was put in place.
