First Name: -
Ship: LH
Date: -
Place: Corner King and Mitchell Streets, Stockton
Source: The Methodist 14 September 1946
Details: The first Church dates back to 1886, but there was almost two years of effort before that. Mr. R. J. Errington who had moved from Wallsend to Stockton, persuaded Mr. John Dixon, F.R.G.S., Inspector of Mines, to commence Primitive Methodist services. The first service was held in December, 1884, in the old school room, in Church Street. Revs. J. A. Foggon and E. C. Pritchard conducted services in this building, and in it Thomas - Errington and Peter Roddom were baptised. Later, services were held in the Temperance Hall. The need for a Church was evident, and on March 27, 1886, the foundation stones for the first Methodist Church in Stockton were laid by Mrs. Foggon and Mr. John Evans (Manager of Stockton Colliery). The Church was opened for worship in July, and was attached to the Newcastle Primitive Methodist Circuit. Afterwards a circuit, Stockton, Stockton Newtownship, Carrington, was formed, with Rev. James Green as minister in charge. He was the first married minister to be stationed at Stockton. The original Church, in Mitchell Street, was destroyed by fire on January 28, 1902. The present Church was opened on Sunday, December 14, 1902. With Methodist Union, Stockton was attached to Newcastle

Ship: LH
Date: 1916
Place: Margaret-street, Mayfield
Source: The Methodist 26 August 1916
Details: In order to meet the requirements of the increasing population of Mayfield East, in the Newcastle district; a large and commodious school church has just been completed in Margaret Street by the enterprising members of the Mayfield Methodist Church. This extension of church work will meet the spiritual wants of the district for many years to come, and it is hoped that a strong and increasing fellowship will be built in the locality.. Special attention has been given to the accommodation for the children, and the building has been specially designed for Sunday school work, and at the same time may be used for church services and the social functions appertaining to work of this kind. The structure is somewhat of a departure from the usual style of church architecture. The building comprises a hall,. 62ft x 30ft, and four class-rooms with a porch 14ft x 8ft. The main hall, which is capable of seating from 350 to 400 people, is divided into two for school purposes by a movable partition, the smaller portion, 22ft x 30ft, to be used for the kindergarten, and the larger 40ft x 30ft for the general school. The four class-rooms being reserved for the senior boys and girls. The partition is a double panelled partition, so as to render it as sound-proof as possible. The building is a timber-framed structure on concrete piers, with the outside walls of mahogany rusticated weather- ;boards up to sill lever and Sprigg s asbestos from sill to the eaves. The inside has a 5ft dado, the remainder of the walls and ceilings being lined with asbestos panelled out and painted. The front elevation is of imposing and pleasing appearance, with stained shingle gables and walls of asbestolite and weatherboards, the class-rooms giving width, while the porch in the centre breaks up the continuity. The work has been faithfully performed by Messrs. Carpenter and Darkenne, contractors of Islington, at a cost of £900, to the designs and under the supervision of Mr. T. J. Pepper architect, of Watt Street, Newcastle

Details: Here (at Newcastle), the residence of the most abandoned and unfortunate of our species, we have a solemn Temple, neatly finished, for the public worship of the true God. It is most delightfully situated, and conveniently fitted up for our accommodation, that we may meet together to render thanks unto Almighty God, for the great benefits which we have received at his Hands ; to show forth his most worthy praise; to hear his most holy word ; and to ask those things which are requisite and necessary, as well for the body as the soul. No language can indeed fully exhibit to the mind the grandeur of the place on which stands the " Christ Church" at Newcastle. It is founded upon, an eminence, almost the highest in the neighbourhood, commanding a full view of the town all beneath. On two sides we have the boundless ocean, with its rolling waves, far below ; on one side is an extensive bay, interspersed with islands ; and on the other side, are immense mountains at a distance ; nearer the hallowed site, are pleasant valleys, and a beautiful terrace all around.-The sacred edifice itself is adorned with a steeple and spire of considerable height ; on the top of which, above the ball and the NESW, is placed an Angel flying with a trumpet, as if proclaiming to the four quarters of the Globe, "good tidings of great joy to all people.

Source: Glory be 1845-1945, commemorating the 100th anniversary of the opening of the first Wesleyan Chapel in Newcastle, P. 35; The Methodist 4 July 1911
Details: In 1887, when the late Rev.

The Dangar Street Church Mission Band members visited the island each Sunday evening, and with the aid of kerosene flares conducted open air services at the Young Street railway gates. They were assisted by local residents. Later, services were conducted after open-air meetings in the Temperance Hall. On July 18, 1888, it was decided to erect a church in Hargrave-street. Tenders were called by architects Bennett and Yeomans for the erection and completion of a Primitive Methodist Chapel in Hargrave-street, Carrington in August 1888 (NMH 4 August 1888).The tidal waters were said to have lapped the front door of the church on the day it was opened. A Sunday School was soon established, with Mr. Fegan as superintendent. With Methodist Union (c. 1902?), the Primitive Methodist Church in Hargrave street/Gipps street was sold for £180. In 1908 - 1910, when Rev. G. H. Hewitt was superintendent, the church was moved to a site in Young-street. A Kindergarten hall was erected in 1918 at the cost of £293. In 1938 the jubilee services were held during the superintendency of Rev. Norman W. Lickiss.
