Methodist Church Opening, North Street, Lostwithiel, Cornwall. February 1993
After closing the Bank Chapel in Queen Street in 1988, the towns Methodists had no church of their own. However they now have a new chapel within the walls of the refurbished Taprell House, which also houses the library, art gallery and meeting rooms. At the opening and dedication of the new church are church dignitaries from the area including Rev. Leslie Barnes, Minister at Lostwithiel (second from left) and John Carter, project architect (third from left). Photographer: Jonathan Barker

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous occasion in the history of Lostwithiel, Cornwall. In February 1993, after years of longing for a place to call their own, the Methodist community finally celebrated the opening and dedication of their new chapel within Taprell House. The stone building stands proudly as a symbol of faith and unity amidst the charming streets. The Methodist Church Opening brought together church dignitaries from all around the area, including Reverend Leslie Barnes, Minister at Lostwithiel, who can be seen standing second from left in his distinguished priest robes. Also present is John Carter, the talented project architect responsible for transforming Taprell House into not only a spiritual sanctuary but also an artistic hub housing a library and art gallery. This event marked more than just the establishment of a physical space; it was an occasion that breathed life into this close-knit Cornish community. With its doors open wide to all who seek solace or fellowship, this newly refurbished chapel has become an invaluable resource for locals. Through this photograph captured by Jonathan Barker, we witness both history and hope intertwine within these walls. It serves as a reminder that even in times when faith seemed uncertain or scattered across different locations like puzzle pieces waiting to be reunited – resilience prevails.
