Headingley Methodist Church, Vestry, Sunday School, Hall And Walls And Piers

Headingley Methodist Church includes a vestry, Sunday School, church hall, and boundary wall with gate piers. It was built between 1840 and 1845, extended in 1862, and altered in the late 19th century, likely designed by James Simpson. The church features a gallery, transepts, and an apse added in 1862, with the west front remodeled in the 1890s. The school buildings date from the late 19th century.

The materials used are coursed squared gritstone and ashlar, with a slate roof, and the style is Gothic Revival. The facade facing Otley Road is gabled with pinnacles, featuring a central projection with a moulded pointed-arch doorway, corner buttresses, and large pinnacles above. It has a stepped three-light lancet window and a triangular cusped light with a finial at the apex. There are flanking lancets to the aisles and two-light lancets to the returns, with shallow buttresses in between and gabled transepts.

To the north, the vestry, Sunday Schools, and church hall open onto Chapel Street. One gable has four-light stepped lancets with a pointed arch dripmould, while another features a tripartite window of tall lancets with pilaster shafts between and a quatrefoil opening in the apex. There are pointed-arch doorways, one with a gabled portal. The corner vestry is small with splayed corners, a hipped roof, and a projecting gable with tripartite lancets.

The boundary wall with gate piers is approximately 50 meters long, extending from the gable of the school across the front of the church. It has chamfered coping, a low wall with missing railings, and gate piers opposite the church entrance that are about 1.5 meters high, featuring a plinth, monolithic piers, and stepped capstones. The interior has not been inspected. This new Wesleyan Methodist church was built on the current site after opposition from the Earl of Cardigan, as the earlier chapel was located in King Place. It is notable for being the first Methodist chapel in Leeds built in the Gothic Revival style.
