Wesley Hall

Wesley Hall is a Methodist church and Sunday school built in 1907, with later 20th-century conversion work. Designed by WJ Hale, it is constructed of squared dressed stone with ashlar dressings and has a pyramidal slate roof topped with a traceried wooden lantern. The building is an example of the Arts and Crafts style employing a Perpendicular Gothic influence.

The building comprises an octagonal main block with radial wings, a porch, a shallow apsidal chancel, and attached vestry and Sunday school. The main block features heavy, battered square angle buttresses with stepped caps and a shaped coped parapet. A segment-headed 7-light lancet, with a traceried transom and two chamfered mullions, is positioned above the porch. The left side has two windows similar to this one, with a 2-light mullioned window flanked by single-light windows below the left one. A single-storey, cross-gabled vestry has three small square windows. The entrance porch has octagonal flanking buttresses with panelled tops and pyramidal caps, and a coped parapet with mask corbels. It contains a moulded segment-arched doorway with triple doors and a traceried overlight. Links with doorways are on either side, and beyond these, single wings with coped gables and clasping buttresses. Each wing has a moulded segment-headed recess with a 2-light mullioned window and a traceried transom, as well as a single lancet window above. The two-storey gabled chancel has clasping buttresses, a traceried single lancet above, and four casements below. A two-storey link building connects to the main block, featuring a canted wooden oriel window and a small plain sash window, with a recessed doorway and a two-storey gabled Sunday school range extending beyond.

The interior features a half-round arch to the chancel, a choir gallery, an all-round panelled gallery with square wooden posts, and segmental arches with extended keystones. It has a shallow domed ceiling. WJ Hale (1862–c1929) was a pupil of Innocent & Brown and established his own practice in Sheffield in 1893; he designed several noteworthy schools and Nonconformist churches.
