Methodist church on this site since the first urban development of this area on lands of the Eastwood Estate of Joseph Walker. Rebuilt between 1938 and 1958 OS. All the land north of Doncaster Road is re surveyed and divided into building plots after 1851 by its owners the Earl of Effingham and the Badger Brothers (Munford 2000, 117). These plots are then developed at different periods. Geo. Kelk map of 1764 shows this block of terraces (Eastwood Flat to the west and Horse close to the east) divided by a road called Eastwood Lane. Eastwood Lane appears to have been rationalised in the late 19th century redrawing of the area as Hatherley Road. This polygon relates to the ' Horse Close' area to the east of Eastwood lane the line of which may have reflected the ancient extent of the east wood.
