Description
St Andrew’s Methodist Church and Sunday School, now the Chinese Christian Church, was built in 1896. The building is constructed of rock-faced stone and brick with ashlar dressings, featuring gabled and hipped slate roofs. It is designed in a Gothic Revival style.
The exterior has a plinth, buttresses, string courses, and coped gables. The front elevation has a projecting central gable with a finial and flanking buttresses, a sillband, and a corbel table. A round window sits above two pointed arched windows with plate tracery, and below are two pairs of smaller lancets, all with hoodmoulds. Flanking the front are lower hipped entrance bays with angle buttresses, a corbel table, and segment-headed lancets. A pointed arched double door is located under a moulded gable with a finial. The returns of the entrance bays feature similar lancets above and a stepped triple stair window below. A flight of stone steps leads to a terrace wall with flat coping.
The right front elevation, facing Anns Road, includes a coped gable with a segment-headed three-light window with a keystone and hoodmould, and three smaller segment-headed windows below. To the left are bays with two windows on each floor, and another gabled entrance bay with a graduated three-light window and a cusped opening with a recessed door below. Further to the left is a range with bays divided by pilaster buttresses, with four pairs of segment-headed lancets above and four stone mullioned two-light windows below under drip moulds. The left front has a hipped projection with three segment-headed two-light windows on the upper floor and three flat-headed two-light windows above, the central one under a small gable. The basement has six boarded openings.
The interior retains its original character and features an arch braced roof with a panelled ceiling and panelled gallery on all sides. A moulded elliptical arch contains the organ. Original fittings include a matchboard pulpit and benches.
