Scartho Methodist Church

The red-brick chapel standing on Scartho Road isn't what you'd call showy, but it's worth a proper look if you're staying near Cleethorpes and fancy a bit of local history. This is a Methodist place of worship built when nonconformist chapels were popping up across industrial England, and it's got that solid Victorian confidence you find in a lot of Lincolnshire's places of faith.

It's a straightforward building - nothing elaborate, no soaring nave or stained glass to make you gasp. Instead, you're looking at honest brick and functional design that tells you more about how ordinary people worshipped in the late 1800s than any grand cathedral could. The interior (if you can get in to see it) has the kind of simple dignity Methodists went in for.

This one's really for people interested in local heritage or those with a genuine interest in nonconformist architecture. It won't eat up your afternoon, and honestly, it's the sort of place you'd stumble upon while walking around the neighbourhood rather than make a dedicated trip for. If you're based at Haven Cleethorpes Beach Holiday Park and fancying a gentle explore on foot, it's a reasonable wander and gives you context for how the town developed beyond the seafront.

You'll want to check opening times locally before you go - Methodist chapels don't always have set visiting hours. It's free to look around if the doors are open, which keeps expectations sensible.
