Description
Burley in Wharfedale Methodist Church was built in 1868, with an adjacent former chapel from around 1830-40 that now serves as the Sunday School. The church features a robust transitional Gothic design made of hammer-faced stone, maintaining a hall-like layout. It has a steep roof covered in patterned slates, with eaves that extend to shelter the interior gallery. The front gable is steeply coped and includes a large rose window with dagger quatrefoils, flanked by squat towers that act as offset buttresses. These towers have stepped upper stages with quatrefoil pierced parapets and pyramid slate roofs. The entrance features coupled stilted Norman arched doorways with slender shafts. The side elevations are adorned with two-light cusped lancets topped with cinquefoils, and a continuous drip mould that shapes the window arches, all fitted with leaded diamond glazing. Inside, the church has a gallery on three sides supported by cast iron columns that rise to meet the roof pitch above the gallery, and the furnishings display simple Gothic detailing.
