Description
Westgate Wesleyan Methodist Church is a town chapel built in 1827. It is constructed of red brick with painted stone dressing and features two storeys and a basement. The front has five bays, with narrow flanking bays and a broad, shallow bowed centerpiece. The pediment gable extends outward with the bow. There is a plinth and a deep first-floor entablature with a sill band. The wall plane of the bow is recessed by one brick from the quoin pilasters, which have round capped dies. The central bay is flanked by Ionic pilasters that support the entablature. The windows are round-headed and marginal glazed. There is a Corinthian pilastered doorway from around 1870, which includes an entablature, a door with diamond fields in the panels, and an archivolt arched fanlight above. The five-bay side elevations are divided by brick pilasters with sill courses that return from the front and continue over.
