# Woodvale Methodist Church, Belfast

Woodvale Methodist Church stands on Cambrai Street in west Belfast, a place of worship opened in 1940 and still used by the Methodist Church in Ireland.

## Overview

The Index of Irish Methodist Churches records a Woodvale hall of 1896, closed on 25 June 1939, and a successor church of 1939 whose foundation stones were laid on 22 February 1939. The opening service was held on 27 April 1940. The architect was Richard Mills Close (1880–1949). The Dictionary of Irish Architects separately records Close’s 1939 lecture hall for the trustees of Woodvale Methodist Church.

The congregation’s own site places the church at 260 Cambrai Street, Belfast BT13 3JH. No statutory listing for the present church has been confirmed.
