Description
Lidgett Park Methodist Church is a Methodist church built between 1905 and 1926 by architect W.H. Beevers, showcasing the Gothic Revival style. The church is constructed of dressed stone and red brick laid in a 3:1 English bond, topped with a steep-pitched grey slate roof covering the nave and aisles. It features twin gabled transepts and pointed and depressed arch windows with Perpendicular-type tracery. The entrance is located at the east end, which is the ritual west end, and includes a three-light window with curvilinear tracery. Heavy corner buttresses rise to truncated pinnacles flanking the gable end, along with a canted porch. The northeast corner tower is tall and thin, with diagonal corner buttresses that rise above the parapet to form flat-topped pinnacles. A tall two-light lancet belfry with a stone shaft in between rises through a shaped panelled parapet. The chapel and school premises were designed together, but the chapel was officially opened in 1926.
