Methodist Church, Linwood

Begun: c.1862
Closed: c.1884

The church, of logs, was built east of the village. In 1884 the church building was said to have been sold to the Presbyterians at which time it is possible that the congregation joined with that of the former Primitive Methodist Church in Linwood.
