West Bay Methodist Church

Prior to the construction of the church, the West Bay Wesleyan Society, which had formed in 1828, held services and meeting at a local dwelling. As the congregation grew, a Methodist church was built in 1849 by Messrs John Cox and Son, Following the chapel's disuse, West Dorset District Council later sold the chapel to the Bridport Area Development Trust for £1 in 2012. Funding from the Coastal Communities Fund was received in 2017 and the restoration and alteration work was carried out in 2018 by R&C Building Conservation of Shaftesbury. The West Bay Discovery Centre opened in August 2018.
