St John's Burlington

Originally known as The New Wesleyan Chapel, the church was designed by the Architect Joseph Earnshaw and was completed on 2nd July 1884 at a cost of £3,892. The church is grade II listed and its distinctive exterior is built in the Italianate style in pale brick with stone dressing and end turrets with domed roofs.

Built by Forster and Andrews of Hull in 1893, the pipe organ remains largely in its original condition. The organ pipes are gilded and decorated.

In 2006, a major redevelopment programme was carried out when a new kitchen, toilets and ancillary rooms were built at the rear of the premises. The vestibule at the front of the church was extended to provide a larger and more welcoming entrance area. The church has excellent and very versatile accommodation, including a large hall, a smaller meeting room and several ancillary rooms plus a commercial kitchen. The church is registered with East Riding of Yorkshire Council Food Services and currently holds a food hygiene rating of 5. These facilities enable the church to be used throughout the week in supporting both church based and external user groups from the local and wider community.

As the one remaining Methodist Church in Bridlington, it continues to be a spiritual centre for worship and prayer within Bridlington and the Old Town community with the aim to develop its existing links with schools, care homes, charity organisations and to continue to be an encouraging and a welcoming church to all.
