History

Admaston village started to develop in the 19^th century due to the presence of Admaston Spa.  Wesleyan Society meetings were held in the village at this time and in 1870 a Local Preachers meeting reported that Admaston be in the plan as a preaching place. The Society met at The Elms, which was owned by the Bostock family and were led by Mr Heywood, a milkman from Wellington who delivered milk in Admaston. In March 1871 he was leading a class of 7 members mostly whom were servants in the larger houses.  Another class for women was led by ‘Sister Marsh’ during 1874.

During the 1870’s it was decided to build a church in the village and the land was bought from Mr J.T. Evans.  The architect was Mr Bullock, a local man, and the builder Mr Randall. There are four foundation stones bearing the date of 18 December 1874 which can be seen on the church today. These record the names of Richard Groom (a timber merchant), William Mewburn (a railway contractor), John Field and Samuel Lees.  The opening ceremony and first service at the church took place on 1 September 1875 when Colonel James Pratchett of Haybridge Hall and the Haybridge Ironworks presided.
