Administrative / biographical background

Lytham St. Annes Methodist Circuit was formed in 1932 when the local Wesleyan and Primitive circuits merged.

In the early 19th century the Wesleyans in the area had connections with Preston but were part of Garstang Circuit before 1845. The Lytham district was transferred to Blackpool Circuit on its formation in 1866 and it was not until 1883 that a separate Lytham Wesleyan Methodist Circuit was formed (covering Lytham, St. Annes and Warton). Its name was changed to Lytham St. Annes Wesleyan Methodist Circuit in 1921.

The local Primitive Methodists also had their origins in Preston but they were represented by their own King's Road Circuit from 1911 until the 1932 union with the Wesleyans.
