Description

Burley Methodist Church is a Wesleyan Methodist church built between 1897 and 1898 by architect George Francis Danby. It is constructed from coursed rock-faced gritstone with ashlar details and features a slate roof, showcasing the Gothic Revival style. The entrance facade on the east side has a gabled design with paired doorways that have trefoil arches, supported by attached columns with decorated capitals. Above the doors is a five-light window with intricate tracery, carved trefoil recesses at the apex, and a cross finial. The facade also includes moulded string courses and an octagonal turret with an ornate spire to the right. The three-stage tower features buttresses, a doorway in an arched recess, a lancet window above, and an ornate belfry stage with gabled, louvred traceried windows and spirelets, culminating in an octagonal stone spire. The interior has been reordered.
