Description
Grove Methodist Church is a Methodist church dated 1867, located on Town Street in Horsforth. It is built from coursed rock-faced sandstone and features Welsh slate roofs in a Gothic style. The church has a nave aligned on a north-south axis, with a north chancel, east and west transepts, and a unique external porch that also serves as a stair turret at the south-west corner.
The prominent porch is designed to resemble a tower and has an elongated hexagonal shape, with doorways featuring coupled two-centred arches. The left doorway provides entrance, while the right leads to a gallery staircase. Both doorways are adorned with shafts that have stiff-leaf capitals, all set within a slightly projected gabled surround that contains a foliated medallion with a monogrammed date. The porch is topped with a steeply-pitched saddle-back roof, complete with ornamental wrought-iron cresting along the ridge.
The four-bay nave includes two-centred-arched three-light plate-traceried windows, with three on the west side and four on the east side. The south gable features a large plate-traceried "west" window with five lights and a multifoil design in the head. Each transept has five triangular-headed lancets at ground level and a large plate-traceried circular window above. The church's roof is also steeply pitched.
Inside, there is a gallery at the south end and an arch-braced hammer-beam roof.
