Helmsley Methodist Church

Helmsley Methodist Church is part of Ryedale Methodist Circuit.  A Wesleyan Chapel was built at Gate Helmsley in 1814. It was replaced by a new larger chapel in 1864. The Helmsley Primitive Methodist Society began meeting in a former Quakers Friends Meeting House in 1844 and continued to worship there until 1980. In 1932 there was a unification of the Primitive, Wesleyan and United Methodist churches. The current grand building on Ashdale Road was constructed in 1901 and has been the base for Methodists in Helmsley ever since. Helmsley Methodist Church is part of the Christian community in rural Ryedale. It is one of the family of churches under the leadership of Priest-in-Charge Reverend Melanie Burnside who holds a joint Anglican and Methodist post.

Sunday morning worship is at 10.30am followed by an  opportunity to meet one another over refreshments. The first Sunday of the month is usually a communion service.

Helmsley Methodist Church is open every day as a place of interest and for private prayer from 9am - 4pm.
