Methodist Church

Methodist Church, built circa 1899-1907. Constructed in ashlar with tiled roofs and a lead spire. To the south stands a red brick and slate parish room, which is not included in the listing. The building displays ashlar coped gables with kneelers, exposed rafters at the eaves, and an ashlar stack to the south west. The church is buttressed and set on a plinth that decreases in depth towards the brick wing.

The plan comprises a north west tower with porch and fleche, an east porch, a nave with north and south aisles, north and south transepts, a chancel, an east vestry and organ area.

The squat tower is of two stages with a string course at the junction. On the ground floor to the west is a two-light window with cusping, lead panes and a square head. A similar window appears on the second floor. The north doorway has a recessed Tudor arched door with iron fittings and a depressed arch over. The third floor has a square headed two-light window with cusping and lead panes. The tower is embattled with merlons wider than embrasures, and is topped with a wood and leaded fleche decorated with herring bone pattern and a weather vane. The corners of the tower are stepped in twice; the inner step is continued to the parapet and rises slightly above the embattlements.

The north nave displays a four-light flowing tracery window with hood mould. The north, angle buttressed, side of the east porch has a two-light mullioned window with lead panes. The east porch doorway has a recessed Tudor arched wooden double door with iron fittings and a depressed arch over. To the south of the doorway is a single lancet with lead panes, and a further rectangular light appears under the apex of the gable. The east aisle wall has two square headed three-light windows with lead panes and cusping. The transept has a three-light flowing tracery window with lead panes and hood mould, with a small rectangular light above. The vestry has a single window with lead panes and to the south a four-light window with lead panes. Under the apex is a two-light window with lead panes. Between the diagonally buttressed transept and vestry is a recessed doorway with a wooden door having iron fittings, its top panel being glass, and an arch over. The west of the chancel has two two-light windows each with quatrefoil, cusping, lead panes and hood mould. In the re-entrant angle between the chancel and west transept is a small projecting ashlar porch with ashlar tiles, having a door to the south and a rectangular light to the west. The west transept has to its south wall a three-light square headed window with cusping and lead panes. To the west is a three-light window with flowing tracery, lead panes and hood mould, with a small rectangular light over. The west aisle has two square headed three-light windows with cusping.

Interior: The interior is constructed in ashlar with dressed stone to arches and piers. It features three-bay arcades, with the bay separating the transepts from the nave being slightly wider. The east wall of the chancel has an arch over the organ chamber. Leading into both porches are wooden quarter-glazed doors with arches over. The church retains its original oak pews, pulpit and lectern, with the chancel having oak panelling to all three sides.
