The North Harrow area was built up between 1920 and the mid 1930's. The houses were new, reasonably affordable and very close to the new Metropolitan Railway station at Hooking Green - later renamed North Harrow.

In 1922 a new "Harrow (Wesleyan) Methodist Circuit" was formed.

Regular Methodist meetings in North Harrow started in 1924 in a house at the end of Southfield Park, opposite the present Church, where the modern flats now stand.

In 1925 the Harrow Circuit Quarterly meeting set up a committee to investigate possible sites for a church in the North Harrow district.

In 1926 the present site was purchased and on the 2nd November 1927 the first building on the site of the present North Harrow Methodist Church was opened by Mrs. Chambers, one of the pioneers of the meetings in Southfield Park. This building was used as both hall and church, with members having to ensure that chairs were set out ready for worship, when needed. That part of the site reserved for future builds was used for many years as a place to hold fetes and other outdoor gatherings.

The plans drawn up in 1926 were very visionary. They included room for expansion and the vision of a future Church building with space for 500 worshippers and a separate hall complex.

The original Lower Hall was added in 1930 and used to great effect until the late 1960's.

In 1931 fund raising for the new church began. It would be over 25 years before the new church building would finally be dedicated.

During the 1930's various plans for the new church were drawn up. The layouts of the interior varied the position of the organ, choir, children's area and boiler house.

Despite all the planning, no building work was approved before the outbreak of World War II. During the war years the most significant recorded event was the amalgamation of the Harrow Wesleyan and Harrow and Northwood Primitive Methodist circuits into the Harrow Methodist Circuit.

In the early 1950's attention returned to the new church and revised plans were again drawn up. A number of variations were produced with different capacities for the congregation and variations on the position of the organ, similar to the 1930s versions. A decision was made and on 30 July 1955 the foundation stone of the new church was laid. The building was finally opened on 2nd March 1957.

During the late 1950s and early 1960s the fellowship steadily grew in numbers with thriving youth and adult groups meeting during the week.

At the end of the 1960s the original lower hall was replaced by a new two storey building comprising two new halls, a meeting room, toilet facilities and new storage space. This extension was opened on 16th May 1970.

in 1972 another local Methodist Church, Bessborough Road, closed. About 40 people transferred to North harrow and some are still around to tell the tale.

In the 1980s the number of people attached in some way to the church began to go down. This was due in part to changes in the cost of housing forcing newly married couples to move to areas where housing was somewhat cheaper. Changes in patterns of employment and the rise in the use of technology in the workplace saw a number of folk take early retirement and move away. The reduced numbers did not stop building work and in 1988 a large store room was added to the side of the church hall.

Numbers are still declining in 1998. There is a much reduced membership and consequently a reduced number of young people passing through our Young Church and youth groups.

The need for a church in the area is still there. The mission of that church, both its people and buildings is high on our current agenda.
