- Heslington Church
Saint Paul's Church, Heslington (Heslington Church) is in the parish (and village) of
Heslington , nearYork ,England . As well as the village and some more modern housing estates, the church also serves some outlying farms. The Heslington campus of theUniversity of York is also in the parish.It is a
local ecumenical partnership between theChurch of England and theMethodist Church , making it one of few joint Methodist/Anglican churches. It was formed from St Paul's Church, Heslington and Heslington Methodist Chapel in 1971. The old Methodist Chapel is now the village meeting room.The building looks much like a Victorian parish church from the south. It was originally constructed in 1858. However, the north wall was removed during rebuilding in the 1970s, and the building was extended with a modern suite of meeting rooms, vestry and kitchen on the north side. The old choir and sanctuary now form a separate chapel, and the congregation sits in a semi-circle facing the new
altar to the north.External links
