A group of villagers in Headcorn have come together to launch a campaign to purchase the disused Methodist Church for the community.
The building in the High Street is shortly to be put up for sale, after the Methodists declared that the rising cost of maintenance and insurance had made the church untenable for the dwindling congregation that had shrunk to just 12 worshippers.

Now villagers Sally Musker, Duncan Payne, Tim Thomas, Victoria and Richard Berry, Dr Khum Raj Pathak and Bella Mansfield have formed a committee that has developed ambitious plans to purchase the church and use it to give the village its own museum and to provide a place for education and support.
