Northgate Hall

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Northgate Hall stands in St Michael's Street, Oxford, England. It has had a number of purposes:

  • It was originally built as a Primitive Methodist Church, but with Methodist Union in 1932 it was no longer needed for this purpose, as the Wesleyan Wesley Memorial Church is about 100m away;
  • From 1933 to the 1980s, it served as the base for the Oxford Inter-Collegiate Christian Union (OICCU);
  • From 1991 to 2005, it hosted the Oxford Lesbian and Gay Community Centre.

Since the early 1990s, it has also hosted Gatehouse, which is a drop-in centre for homeless people run by churches in the centre of Oxford.
