Southwell Methodist Church

Southwell Methodist Church is a Methodist church dated 1839, as indicated by a datestone on the south gable. The building is constructed of brick with stone dressings, featuring a partly stuccoed front and a slate roof. It has a single gable stack and consists of two storeys plus a basement, arranged in a 3x4 bay configuration. The front facade includes three glazing bar sash windows with rubbed brick heads, topped by a heavily moulded pediment that contains a shaped datestone inscribed "Wesley Chapel."

There is a loggia supported by central Tuscan columns, which is spanned by a curved lamp bracket. On either side of the loggia are openings with elaborate cast iron railings on dwarf walls, followed by single blank panels with pilasters. Under the loggia, there is a central panelled two-leaf door with a fanlight, flanked by single basement lights, with single glazing bar sash windows above them. Each side of the building has three margin light sashes, with four similar sashes above, all featuring rubbed brick heads.

On the west side at basement level, there are three plain sash windows, and to their right is an elliptical-arched carriage opening with double doors. The east side has a segment-headed opening with an iron gate on the left. The north gable features a central two-storey gabled projection, flanked by lower lean-to additions, with a tablet inscribed "Wesley Chapel" in the central gable.

Inside, the church has a coved horseshoe-shaped gallery adorned with Adam-style ornament and plain coping, supported by iron columns with acanthus-leaf capitals. The east end features a moulded proscenium arch with plain piers, a plain ceiling with a moulded cornice, and a foliate central boss. The organ chamber at the east end has a boarded wagon roof. The gallery retains its original pews, and other fittings from around 1870 include an elliptical dais with a wrought iron railing, a canted matchboard pulpit with flanking stairs and wrought iron balusters, as well as a panelled dado and benches with shaped ends.
