Location

Airton is in the upper valley of the River Aire. From Skipton take the A65 to Gargrave. Turn right there towards Malham. When you reach Airton village continue and pass a row of tall houses on the left.

This former Methodist church has now ceased to be a place of worship (2011) and is being used as a nursery. The building was erected in 1898 as a Weslyan Methodist church and it replaced the older Wesleyan church at Scosthrop. This still stands at the T junction with the Settle Road in Scosthrop and was built in 1835.
