Orthodox Church (Old Methodist Chapel), Braithwaite


There is an Orthodox Church in Braithwaite. This is the Parish of St Bega, St Mungo, & St Herbert of the Archdiocese of Thyateira and Great Britain (Greek Orthodox). The building was originally a Methodist Chapel, built in 1850 and then rebuilt at a cost of £250, in 1876. The Orthodox parish was founded by Father John Musther (1940-2023). The Orthodox parish used the chapel alongside the Methodist congregation for several years, before purcasing the building in 2017.
