Swaffham Methodist Church

Swaffham Methodist Church is a Wesleyan Chapel built in 1813 by Robert Goodrick and adapted for use as a Methodist church in 1936. The building features a slate roof and a gault-brick facade with rendered returns, and it has a roughly rectangular plan.

The exterior of the chapel has a two-storey elevation divided into three bays, facing west towards London Street. It has a hipped roof covered with slate and a pediment above the central bay. Each bay is separated by panelled giant pilasters topped with pyramidal stone finials. The walls are made of gault brick, with a red brick eaves cornice leading to a parapet. The window bays have gauged arches and contain 20th-century fixed windows with margin glazing and coloured glass; the upper floor windows are round-arched and set within arched recesses. The central bay at ground-floor level features four slender Roman Doric columns that rise to a plain cornice, creating a recessed porch. The porch has six-panelled doors in the north and south inner walls, each with doorcases that include paterae.

Inside, the chapel has a panelled west gallery supported by three cast-iron columns, accessible via two stick-baluster staircases. The ceiling is a suspended timber structure from the 20th century.
