Place of Worship

Fordingbridge Methodist Church was built in the 1800's and further extended in the following centuries. It is constructed of brick with rendered elevations, under a pitched tiled roof. The property sits in its own private site and is not individually listed. Final religious services took place in July 2023 and there are now no gravestones or memorials within the grounds. As stated, the building is not individually listed. The present use is within D1 of the Use Classes Order as a place of worship. This would permit other community uses, including clinics, surgeries, crèches, day nurseries and consulting rooms. Alternatively, the property could be converted to a fantastic individual dwelling, having over 2,700 sq. ft. of floor space, subject to planning permission. Interested parties should address specific enquiries to the local planning authority, New Forest District Council.
