Description

Denholme Clough Methodist Church was originally built as a Primitive Methodist chapel in 1834. It features hammer-dressed stone with ashlar dressings and has a stone slate roof. The building is two storeys high and has a symmetrical three-bay facade with round-arched windows that include keystones, frosted glass, and coloured marginal glazing. There are two doorways on either side of the central window, each with semicircular fanlights and keystones, although the doors have been altered. A central plaque at a high level indicates that it is the Primitive Methodist Chapel built in 1834. The gable copings are positioned on springers, and the gable ends have two round-arched windows on each floor. At the rear, there is a two-storey addition that is in keeping with the original design.

Inside, the church is said to have a horseshoe gallery supported by plain iron columns, which was refronted around the time the pulpit and table were installed in the early 1870s. The pews are original, featuring boxed and panelled designs with ramped sides.
