Keighley Shared Church: Uniting Temple Street Methodist Church with St Andrew's Anglican Church
The continued use of the Temple Street premises became increasingly difficult due to the cost of maintaining such a large suite of premises with a dwindling membership. In 1973 discussions were opened with the PCC of the Parish Church. A Declaration of Intent was to be in place by 1 September 1973 to be effective by 1 September 1974. A Sharing Agreement was signed on 21 July 1975. The Temple Street premises were sold to the local Council for £35,000, the memorial windows were removed (with a grant from the Victoria and Albert Museum) and put on display in Cliffe Castle Museum. The old premises are now used as a Mosque.
A Methodist Hall was built in the grounds of the Parish Church and was officially opened in September 1982. The Hall is self-supporting and is used on a regular basis. As well as providing a home for many Church and Circuit activities, and for community groups, the Church holds Coffee Mornings every Friday and Saturday throughout the year.
