Goring-by-Sea Methodist Church

The Methodist Church sits quietly on the seafront side of Goring-by-Sea, just outside Worthing. It's a proper Victorian building with that solid, no-nonsense look that characterises Methodist chapels of the era. The interior is straightforward and dignified - wooden pews, high ceilings, and clear glass windows that let natural light flood through. If you're into Victorian religious architecture, it's worth a look, though it won't take you long.

This is really one for people with a specific interest in Methodist heritage or those researching local religious history. Casual visitors passing through Worthing might pop in out of curiosity, but it's not the sort of place you'll spend hours exploring. The building speaks to the community's late 19th-century expansion, when methodism was a significant social force along the coast.

Access shouldn't be difficult given its location in the village, though you'll want to check opening times locally - churches often have restricted hours outside services. It's free to enter, which is standard.

If you're camped at Onslow or Brook Lane - both practically on the doorstep - you could combine it with a walk along Goring's beach or through the village without any real detour. For those staying further afield at Fox Wood or the Littlehampton sites, it's a short drive inland. The real draw to the area is the seafront itself rather than the church, so don't expect it to anchor your day.
