The Church was founded in 1825 when meetings for worship were held in one of the local village cottages. The original church building was opened in 1840 to accommodate a growing congregation, and the associated buildings were constructed over the next quarter of a century to cater for the demand for a Sunday school. The church building was demolished in 1988 and the upper hall of the adjacent building was converted into a place of worship in 1990, being furnished with items taken from the church building before its demolition. In some documents and on the name board outside the church is referred to as "The Church of the Upper Room". Part of the churchyard has been lost but many graves have been preserved. The small remaining garden of remembrance is very well maintained and cared for. Before the church was demolished David Reid of Stockport Local Heritage Library transcribed the data from the memorials; his work may be consulted at Stockport Central Library.
