Pirton Methodist Church

Pirton Methodist Church is a Methodist church built in 1906, likely designed by George Baines & Son of London, who also designed a similar church at Breachwood Green in 1904. The church is constructed of red brick with steep slated roofs and features a hipped west crosswing. The eastern front is adorned with terracotta architectural details. This tall, single-storey Arts and Crafts building extends east to west, with a taller crosswing at the west that projects north and south, featuring a central gable on the west side. The roof is decorated with tile cresting and finials, including a tall tapered square finial with an overhanging cap at the west end. The eaves have shaped rafter ends that overhang.

Each side wall has four windows, each consisting of three lights. The eastern front is architecturally elaborate, showcasing terracotta dressings, a gable parapet with flanking buttresses, and a semi-octagonal battlemented porch that is accessed by two steps. The porch has diagonal buttresses flanking double doors with glazed panels, topped with a segmental arched moulded head and a luxuriant ogee finial that rises above the parapet. The buttresses on either side of the porch have terracotta niches with segmental caps, and the canted sides of the porch feature ogee windows with square cinquefoil tracery.

In the eastern gable, there is a tall five-light pointed window with a wider central light, a Perpendicular traceried head, drips, and three slots in the apex of the gable, all with stained glass glazing. The corner buttresses have cross-gabled tops and ornate finials. A terracotta buff string course and jambs frame the main door, and there are Art Nouveau pierced lotus pattern vents in terracotta between the side windows. The western end features a three-light traceried window with a segmental head and stained glass.
