Description

The lecture hall attached to Lytham Methodist Church is a Methodist lecture hall dated 1901, as indicated by a plaque on the right. It is constructed of yellow brick with sandstone ashlar dressings, featuring a hipped slate roof and a lead-clad dome over the entrance porch. The building has a linear plan that runs parallel to the street, with an entrance corridor leading to the church on the left. It is designed in the Edwardian Baroque style and is a single storey with two levels. The main range consists of three bays, with the center bay projecting, while the lower entrance corridor to the left has three narrow bays and a projected central drum that forms the porch.

The hall features a high plinth, a deep frieze, and a prominent moulded cornice. There are three tall windows with moulded architraves and elongated triple keystones that rise into stylised pediments in the frieze. In each of the set-back outer bays, there are stone plaques with carved cartouches and raised lettering: "WESLEYAN METHODIST CHURCH" on the left and "FOUNDED 1867 ENLARGED 1901" on the right. The north end wall includes a large Venetian window. The entrance corridor to the left has a central segmental porch with a wide doorway featuring a moulded architrave, a cartouche keystone, and an elaborately carved segmental pediment in front of the domed roof of the drum, along with small side windows. Inside, there is an Arts-and-Crafts semicircular-arched fireplace with a copper hood. The building is included for group value with the Methodist church to the left.
