Description

The building is a Wesleyan Methodist Church, constructed in 1905 by Garside & Pennington of Pontefract and Castleford. It is located on Milton Street, Saltburn, and includes associated railings and walls extending to Diamond Street. The church is built of rock-faced stone with ashlar dressings, featuring a plain tile roof with red ridge tiles and stone gable copings, along with a stone spire. The architectural style is Gothic Revival.

The plan comprises an aisled nave with transepts, a south-east tower, and a south-west vestry. The three-stage tower has steps on the Diamond Street front leading to boarded doors with elaborate hinges, set within a deeply-moulded arch under a hoodmould. The front facing Milton Street features a two-light window with cusped Y-tracery. The second stage of the tower has single lights framed by tall buttresses, and the top stage contains paired belfry louvre openings with mullioned and cusped Perpendicular tracery. Deeply-moulded two-centred arches over the belfry openings rise from stepped diagonal buttresses. The tower parapet is ornamented with gargoyles at the angles, and the octagonal spire is topped with a tall, slender finial. The east front, facing Diamond Street, has two square-headed windows flanking a central buttress which rises to the sloping sill of a large four-light window with Perpendicular and mouchette tracery, and swept gablets on the main mullions from which shafts rise through a hoodmould of a two-centred-arched head. Three three-light aisle and clerestory windows have Perpendicular tracery and square heads; large four-light transept windows are also present. The vestry has steps leading to a double boarded door on Diamond Street, flanked by Perpendicular lights and a canted return to the right. Large angle buttresses, particularly those at the east end, feature swept gabled coping. The roof has stone gable coping with mid-pitch gablets; roofs pent over the aisles and hipped over the vestry. The interior was not inspected.

Dwarf walls with ashlar coping surround the church and vestry along the street frontages. These incorporate spike-headed wrought-iron railings with rear stays.
