Vale Royal Methodist Church was built in 1872 on the site of the first Wesleyan methodist Church in Tunbridge Wells which was built in 1812 and was attached to the Sevenoaks Circuit until the formation of the Tunbridge Wells Circuit in 1847. When it was built Vale Royal could seat 755, now it is possibly less with the removal of the baconies above the main section of the church.

This list of Ministers of Tunbridge Wells is in memory of those who have made Vale Royal what it is today.
