Finkin Street Chapel is a Grade II[1][2] listed building in Grantham, Lincolnshire. The Wesleyan Methodist chapel was built in 1840 and was the childhood church of Margaret Thatcher, former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.[3][4]

The chapel has a lectern dedicated to Thatcher's father, Alfred Roberts, who was a local preacher there.[4]

In 2008, the congregation of the Central Methodist Church, Finkin Street joined with the congregation of St Peter's Hill United Reformed Church in Castlegate to form a local ecumenical partnership, ChristChurch Grantham. A decision was then taken in April 2011 to keep the Methodist premises on Finkin Street and sell the URC premises on Castlegate.[5] The congregation meeting weekly in the chapel is now known as ChristChurch.[6]
