Finkin Street Chapel is a Grade II 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.
The chapel has a lectern dedicated to Thatcher's father Alfred Roberts who was a lay preacher there.
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 an LEP: 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. The congregation is now known as ChristChurch Grantham.
