Gomersal Methodist Church

Gomersal Methodist Church is a Wesleyan Methodist Chapel built between 1827 and 1828 at the request of E Brooke of Honley. The church is constructed of dressed stone and features a hipped roof. It stands two storeys tall, with a string course, moulded eaves cornice, and a blocking course. The facade is well-proportioned, designed as a broad bow with four bays of fixed pane windows that have glazing bars and flat arched heads. There are two single flanking bays on the left and right, which are slightly lower and each contains a round arched doorway with recessed reveals and a stilted fanlight, along with a single light above the doorway.

The interior was partially refurbished in 1868 and includes a gallery on three sides, with the rear gallery carved to match the outside wall. The gallery fronts are panelled and supported by slender tapering cast iron columns with acanthus leaf capitals. The seating is mainly in box pews. The central pulpit has been successfully repositioned in the organ loft gallery, behind which a handsome organ is set in an apse. There are cast iron rails at the rostrum, and the ceiling features acanthus leaf ceiling roses, including a large one in the centre that serves as a vent, all within a curvilinear diamond panel.
