St John's Belmont CofE & Methodist Church - Belmont, Surrey UK - Methodist Churches on Waymarking.com

The building is of two major phases of construction and dates from 1914 with a later extension constructed at the west end of the building which dates from the 1970s.
The church building comprises nave, chancel and sanctuary, north and south aisles and a suite of vestries to the north east which also includes access up to a proposed tower at the north east corner which was never constructed. At the west end of the building, accommodation has been inserted very successfully to provide a gallery with offices and meeting rooms, kitchens and toilets beyond.

But how did this become a shared church?

The Free Church bought the site on the corner of Kings Road which is now Deacon House, and the foundation stone was laid in July 1915 in the presence of representatives of local Methodist, Baptist, Congregational, and Evangelical churches. After the Second World War there was growing collaboration with the Anglican congregation at St Johns, while the cost of maintaining the Belmont Methodist Church became unsustainable. In 1986 the two churches agreed to share St John’s. Sale of the site paid for adaptations at the parish church to cater for Methodist services and meetings.

All the above came from local websites, not from the Methodist website though, can’t find one!
