Sapcote Methodist Church

Sapcote Methodist Church is a Methodist church built between 1902 and 1905 by Brookes of Broughton Astley. It is constructed from Leicestershire granite with limestone ashlar and granite dressings, topped with a slate roof featuring a stone-coped gable. The church is designed in the Arts and Crafts style, showcasing Perpendicular tracery in the front windows. The facade is two stories high, with a gable facing the street, and features an entrance with double plank doors set under a deep segmental arch between heavy buttresses. Above the entrance is a Perpendicular style window and a panel inscribed "Wesley Church." Each side of the church has small windows set back within the buttresses, and the sides also include two-light stone mullion windows situated between the buttresses. At the rear, there is a lower section with the pulpit end and church offices, which has a long roof extending down to the ground floor eaves. The wide limestone plinth surrounding the church is made up of many foundation stones inscribed with the names of those who contributed to its construction.

Inside, the church features galleries with pews on three sides, supported by cast-iron columns, and a fourth gallery behind the pulpit that houses an organ. The galleries have arched open fronts and pierced decoration on the pew ends, as well as on the pulpit, which has steps on either side. The interior boasts a massive hammerbeam roof with arched braces and stained glass in the window above the entrance.

The local congregation played a significant role in the church's construction, with stone provided free by the local Sapcote quarry for quarrymen members who worked after their regular hours. Local settmakers and kerb dressers were responsible for dressing the stone, while farmers assisted with transportation. This church is noted for being well-designed and largely unaltered since its completion, retaining almost all of its original internal fittings.
