PRINCES PARK METHODIST CHURCH

The collection of Methodist Church records contains records from the Liverpool South Circuit and the Liverpool Methodist Mission Circuit. A number of baptism and marriage registers appear providing valuable information relating to family history. There are also a number of roll books also giving details to the membership of the individual chapels. Also included in the collection are various accounts, pulpit notices and orders of service. There are a number of very useful anniversary booklets written by the Chapels themselves giving a history of the Chapel. Printed material produced by the Chapel gives an insight to the services held, outreach programmes and the administration of the Chapels.
