Greetland

picture of Greetland Methodist Church

John Wesley preached at Greetland Wesley in 1781, 1784 and 1786. The Greetland Circuit consisted of Greetland Wesley, which opened in 1779, and four other churches which were Thornfield, Sowood, Stainland and Krumlin  The discovery of dry-rot at Greetland in 1973 led to the church's demolition and a new system-built church opened at the end of 1974. This is the only church remaining from the the former Greetland Circuit which merged to form the Elland & Greetland Circuit in 1968 and which merged with the Sowerby Bridge Circuit to form the Elland & Ryburn Circuit in 1997
