Emmanuel Methodist United Reformed Church

Emmanuel Methodist United Reformed Church is a Methodist church built in 1878 by Peter Balmer. It is constructed of yellow sandstone with red sandstone dressings and features a slate roof with fishscale bands, all in a Gothic style. The nave is oriented on a north-south axis and includes a north-west tower and a north-east staircase wing. The gabled facade has a central two-centred arched doorway flanked by set-in columns with foliated caps, a moulded arch, and a hoodmould, all beneath a steeply-pitched gable. Above the doorway is a large two-centred arched four-light window with geometrical tracery. To the left of the facade is the staircase wing, which has a two-centred arched doorway, a three-light window above with a stepped sill, and a hipped roof. To the right, there is a tall three-stage tower with octagonal corners that are finished as corner pinnacles, two very tall lancet windows on the second stage, and belfry windows with wooden louvres. The side walls are two-storey with six bays, featuring buttresses, coupled arched windows at the ground floor, and two-centred arched two-light windows above. Inside, there is a three-sided gallery supported by iron columns.
