Built in 1902-3 by Northampton architect Thomas Dyer, the Hope Methodist Church is a striking landmark on Higham Ferrers' High Street. Marked out in East Northamptonshire Council's own Conservation Area Appraisal as a building of merit, the church, which is notable for its exuberantly Gothic west end, has a powerful presence in its historically significant surroundings.

The church has been abandoned since 2004 and has had a Demolition Grant on it since 2008.

I have tried to get in here on numerous occasions over the last year but finally found a suitable access point in a place I never of thought of looking!


I am aware of the noise, seems to be an issue I am having at the moment with equipment.

Very nice sir, you seem to be out and about a lot for 2015! Im still to do my first actual explore of this year, ive only done 2 rooftops so far. Keep it up
 
Nice one, that is a beauty!
The pigeons seem to like it too!
Fantastic shots as always, cheers for sharing :)
 
Just knowing such fantastic architecture is deemed as worthless is sickening, well done on getting a record of it while its still there. Thanks
 
What a lovely church.

Wonder why no one has bought it to convert to a house, no grave yard, space for a second floor and these churches seem to go for a hymn

Nice work!
