Oxford Methodist Church

  • Originally called The Oxford Methodist Episcopal Church South.
  • Built around 1840 on land donated by Mr. Dudley Snow.
  • The first building was made of hand-cut weather boarding with shutters, and candles were used for lighting. It housed the congregation for 30 years.
  • The present building was begun in 1872 and completed in 1875 using an Normanesque  architectural design typical of many of the buildings built in Oxford at the time.
  • Upon completion of the building, the hymnals and literature were divided between the Methodist and Presbyterian congregations.
  • The interior has been changed twice; the tower bell was manufactured by the McNeely Company and dated 1856; the pulpit is of solid walnut.
