The Old Methodist Church has stood proud as a local landmark to the heart of this most sought after of Lincolnshire villages since 1906. In the 1990s it was used as commercial office space up until 2018 when the property was offered for sale. Thankfully the church was acquired by an entertainment industry impresario with the vision and inspiration to create something truly remarkable.  The idea was to retain as much as possible the original church design blending with modern fitment with hidden technology, the result has provided a striking home of some considerable appeal and intrigue with many of its original detailing remaining.  The living accommodation has been thoughtfully designed and offers many superb living areas including the main hall showcasing the original pitched exposed timber “cathedral” height ceiling having three separate sitting rooms off the galleried landing.  The dining room and high specification kitchen each have bi-folding doors opening into the kitchen to make a magnificent open plan entertaining area. There is also a cinema room with ‘Dolby Atmos’ 7 speaker surround system, 4k 85" HD screen, with a hardwired cat 5 network for streaming and leopard print cinema chairs obtained from the Odeon Cinema in Leicester Square.  There are five en-suite bedrooms, two on the ground floor and two of the first-floor bedrooms being equal size and the main bedroom having pitched timber ceiling, stain glass windows, dressing room and en-suite with twin side by side roll top baths.  The distinctive tower is accessible via a private staircase providing views (arguably the best in Woodhall Spa) over the rooftops of the village, there are storage rooms, utility rooms and two sets of staircases and a cellar.  The Old Methodist Church would make a wonderful home or possibly a boutique bed and breakfast subject to necessaries.  A viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the size, standard of fitment and location on offer.

Work on the current building began on 29 January 1907, on what was reportedly a "wild and wintry" afternoon during which the foundation stones were laid. Local Methodists and other notable local figures gathered for the occasion, and sundry objects, such as a bottle of coins and a copy of the Horncastle News, were laid underneath the stones - where they have forever remained, deep as the building's roots in the community.The building work had been made possible thanks to a series of fundraising events which had taken place over the previous year, among them a bachelor's tea, provided by the Young Men's Bible Class, a sale of work by the Ladies' Sewing Class, and various entertainments performed by the Sunday-school scholars - the sort of community-building events that the new chapel would continue to host in the decades that followed.It cost an estimated £4,000 to build the church - and that was before the addition of its distinctive spire. In contrast to the unforgiving weather that greeted the laying of the first foundations stones, the heavens positively shone when the church was formally opened, on 5 August 1907, with a ceremony that began with the Boys Brigade and Sunday-school scholars marching to the building, led by a bugle band.Addressing the crowd from the church steps, the Superintendent Minister of the Coningsby circuit revealed that the building's history stretched back further than many imagined - a full 18 years earlier, to the 19th century, when the land the church now stood on had been purchased by a Mr J. Rivett of Horncastle, especially for the purpose of the churches building. The Superintendent Minister then made way for a Mr George Lewis - a native of Woodhill Spa, now residing in Lincoln - to declare the chapel open for worship. Two religious services were held that day, in the morning and in the afternoon, respectively, and a public meeting was also held, at 6.30pm in the evening; so many people flocked to the chapel that it spilled beyond its 425-person capacity, but those gathered outside would still have been able to hear a special performance by local singer Madame Strathearn.Described as "quite an ornament to the Spa", the church was complete with vestries and an organ chamber next to one of the transepts, which the choir would use. As well as holding Sunday-school and christening events (T. W. Harrison was the first child to be christened on the site, and, fittingly, he grew up to become a Methodist minister), the church played host to various midweek meetings and clubs, though when World War Two broke out, the peaceful tenor of local life was broken.Woodhill Spa was bombed in 1943, leaving the church damaged (repair work was carried out six years later). During the war, the building's schoolroom was commandeered by the British Army for use as a cook room. Servicemen from the many units stationed in Woodhill Spa - which included the Sherwood Foresters, the Somerset Light Infantry, the Scottish Borderers and the Royal Inniskillin Fusiliers - became part of the local community, and, in 1945, a Thanksgiving Service was held in the church after the raid on Arnhem, in which local units had taken part.
