Bishopsthorne Methodist Church is on the inside of the junction between Sim Balk Lane and Copmanthorpe Lane. The first Methodist chapel in Bishopsthorne was Wesley House, which is now behind the supermarket. In 1899 this was given up when the present church was built (and is now a private residence). The nearby Almshouses were demolished in 1963 due to their deterioration and the need to widen the increasingly busy junction at Sim Balk Lane and Main Street. [The History Files]
