Birchwood Methodist Church, Brchwood Avenue, Hatfield

This small building, together with some housing recently replaced an older church of 1936 that was demolished in 2013. Prior to this the old church had been vacated in 2007, brought back into use in 2009 as the recession had stopped plans for its replacement. The worship area is  the room to the left of the porch as we look at it. It contains a communion table and stackable chairs but no fixed furnishings.
