The former Wilston Methodist Memorial Church commemorates those who died in service or were killed in action in World War One and World War Two.

Methodists at Wilston have chosen a strongly contemporary design for their new church, now being built. The church, on the corner of Kedron Brook Road and Hawden Street, will have a tall, stark spire contrasting with a low-pitched roof. The building of welded steel encased in brick, with the roof acoustically ceiled and heat insulated, will be a memorial to the dead of the two World Wars. Cost will be £12,674, and contractor Mr. Brian Flynn is expected to have the job done in six months.
