As Whalley Methodist Church marks their 200th anniversary, preparations are under way for a special celebration week.

The celebration will be held at the end of the month to commemorate the milestone with a grand exhibition demonstrating what the historic building was like then and how it is now with the use of flowers, arts, crafts and photographs.
