Falmouth Methodist Church are reportedly set to sell and move out of their historic building, a spokesperson announced this afternoon.

The history of the building stretches all the way back to 1876, when the base of the original building was completed.

It was one of the biggest in Cornwall at that time.

The church changed its name in 1979 to Falmouth Methodist Church when Pike's Hill was closed, and a new joint society was formed.

The church remained a central part of the town and all large civic services were held there.

In a 2008, the church became part of the newly formed Falmouth and Gwennap Circuit.

Just a small part of the huge history the building has, that can be seen on the churches website.

Announcing the news on social media, a spokesperson for the Methodist Church said:

"Last week the decision was made, with considerable sadness, but with unanimity, that the problems with the roof are beyond us, and that therefore we should seek to move out of the current building and sell it.

"We don't know where we will meet once the building is gone or how long we will remain there. But we do know that we remain people of god."
