This Mission Room was built in 1896 for a group started in
1893. It seats some 120 and many of the seats are of interest, being of the
type used in trams,
with hinged backs enabling them to face either way. A regular Meeting for Worship was held here from 1898 to 1986. It has off-road parking for a few cars.
A Fellowship service is held here each Sunday at 6.00p.m. Further details from Philip Bayliss of Evesham Local Meeting.
