The former Cross Roads Primitive Methodist Church opened on 24/11/1872,and became part of the Cross Roads Methodist Church in 1900 being used as a lecture hall by the church. In 1973 the building was damaged by a tornado and was subsequently sold. No other details are known. More historical information/photographs of the former church/congregation are invited.

Note: Cross Roads originally had three Methodist Churches: A Primitive Methodist Church (1872), A Bible Christian Church (1873) and a Wesleyan Methodist Church (1875). The congregations combined in 1900, with the Bible Christian building continuing as the church, the Primitive Methodist building being used as a Lecture Hall and the Wesleyan Methodist building being used as the Sunday School hall. However following a tornado in 1973 which destroyed the Bible Christian Church building and damaged the Primitive Methodist Church building, the congregation relocated to the former Wesleyan Church building. The Wesleyan church became the Cross Roads Uniting Church (in 1977), while the Primitive Methodist church building was sold.
