Description
Mottram Congregational Church is a chapel built in 1791, with alterations made in 1836 and 1852. It features a stone plinth, rendered walls, and a slate roof, along with a hammer-dressed stone wing added in 1852. The building has three bays, an outshut at the rear, and a small later wing to the right. The only notable external features are three round-headed windows with keystones and a plaque that displays the name of the church. The interior has undergone significant changes. Historically, the church was originally built as a Methodist meeting house, became part of the New Connexion in 1803, and transitioned to a Congregational church around 1850. It is recognized as the oldest surviving Methodist chapel in the Manchester area that is still used for worship.
