The building is now also named the Methodist Church House and took up that
name in 1996.
The Methodist Heritage
website tells us:
The union of the three main branches of British
Methodism in 1932 brought together their missionary societies into the
Methodist Missionary Society, and 'Mission House' was begun as their
headquarters in 1939 as a symbol of this unity in action.
However, the BBC occupied the premises until 1946. Since 1996, the building
has been 'Methodist Church House' when it became the offices for the major
part of the British Connexional Team.
The cornerstone is inscribed:
The Methodist Church
The foundation stone of this
Mission House was laid by
the President of Conference
the Rev W L Wardle MA DD
28th June 1939
I look upon the whole world as my parish
