Description
Parkwood Methodist Church is a chapel built in 1868, as indicated by the datestone. It is constructed of hammer-dressed stone with ashlar dressings and features a pitched-grey slate roof with a hip to the north. The building has stone brackets and a coped gable, standing two storeys tall.
The south elevation, which is the front of the church, has buttresses on either side with moulded heads. At the gable apex, there is an arched ashlar band inscribed with "UNITED METHODIST FREE CHURCH AD 1868." This elevation includes two slender semi-circular arched windows with stained glass and hood mouldings above them. The central doorway features a semi-circular fanlight within an ashlar surround, which consists of two square pilasters and a full entablature. The entire doorway is topped with an overarch and is accessed by a flight of stone steps.
On the east elevation, the ground floor has rectangular casement windows, while the first floor features six slender windows with semi-circular heads, some with drip mouldings and one with stained glass. The west elevation mirrors the east.
