Description
Wetherby Wesleyan Methodist Church is a Methodist chapel built in 1829. It is constructed from ashlar magnesian limestone and features a Welsh slate roof. The building has two storeys and consists of three bays across the front and two bays deep, with a lower wing at the rear center that has lean-tos on each side.
The façade includes a plinth and a central double door with margin glazing and an overlight featuring diagonal glazing bars, all set beneath a flat arch. This door is flanked by margin-glazed sash windows with projecting stone sills and flat arches. On the first floor, there is a band beneath a raised plaque with the inscription 'WESLEYAN CHAPEL 1829', and a similar band above three sashes. The hipped roof has paired gutter brackets. The rear of the building has a gabled main roof, and both returns have windows similar to those at the front.
Inside, the church was reseated in 1891 and features pine box pews and a gallery on three sides, located behind the pulpit. The chapel was built at a cost of £720 and opened on 30th October 1829. There are single-storey additions to the rear, but these are not of special interest.
