Methodist Church, The Square

The Methodist Church located in The Square is an early 20th-century building designed in a free Gothic style. It is constructed from buff-coloured brick in English bond, featuring Bath stone dressings and plain tile roofs.

The church is oriented from the north-east to the south-west and has a roughly cruciform shape, with a wide nave and an offset tower at the north-east corner. The exterior showcases free Gothic elements throughout. The entrance at the eastern end is flanked by a squat tower on the north-east with embattled corner piers and a south-east tower that has diagonal buttresses and an octagonal belfry steeple above. The east end features a large five-light window with reticulated tracery and a moulded four-centred arch, accompanied by flanking four-centred arch lancets with buttresses in between. Both the north and south elevations include gabled transepts and cambered arches with reticulated tracery.

Inside, the church boasts an open timber roof structure. It retains its complete original set of pitch-pine furnishings, which includes galleries with tiered bench seating, as well as benches in the transepts, aisles, and nave. The walls are plastered, and there is a four-centred domed arch above the "high" end that contains an organ loft, with a rostrum and communion rail beneath it. Lancet windows with commemorative stained glass flank the organ. The transepts feature four-bay four-centred arch arcades supported by slender polygonal piers with foliated capitals, and the gallery curves around the east end, cutting through the arcades.
