Description
Denby Dale Wesleyan Methodist Church is a Wesleyan Methodist Church built in 1799 and enlarged in 1859, with a refurbishment around 1900. The church is constructed of hammer dressed stone and features a stone slate roof. It is two storeys high with a five-bay pediment gabled front. A tablet in the tympanum states: "WESLEYAN METHODIST CHAPEL BUILT AD 1799 ENLARGED AD 1859."
The entrance has a three-bay arcaded ashlar applied doorcase, likely from 1859, which includes Corinthian pilasters at the corners, a full entablature, and a blocking course. There are shallow steps leading to two round-arched doorways with double, fielded panel doors, and a central window. The round-arched windows, which have square jambs, feature good stained and leaded glass dating from around 1900. The three-bay sides show a straight joint that indicates the one-bay addition made to the rear in 1859, and there is a later apsidal end.
Inside, the church was refurbished in 1978, and now has a gallery level with raking pine pews. The ceiling features plaster mouldings with an elaborate cornice and a central rose. There is also a hall at the lower level.
