Description

Wesleyan Methodist Church, built in 1860, is designed by Frederick J Barnes in the Gothic Revival style. The building features a facade made of Kentish rag stone with ashlar dressings, while the rear is constructed of brick. It has a slate roof with moulded coped gables and finials, and a chamfered plinth.

The street facade includes a gabled west end that incorporates a porch and side wings. At the center, there is a triple pointed arch loggia with moulded arches supported by quatrefoil pillars and matching responds. The corners have clasping buttresses with gabled tops. Above the loggia is a single 4-light pointed arch window with intricate geometrical tracery and a chamfered cill band, along with a small circular window featuring trefoil tracery above it.

On either side of the facade, there are single staircases that rise outward, leading to triple arched stepped arcades supported by small pillars. The slightly projecting gabled side wings contain pointed arch doorways with moulded surrounds and 6 panel doors topped with trefoil fan-lights. Above these doorways are small triple pointed arch arcades, followed by a chamfered band and a gable that contains a blind trefoil, topped with a cross finial.

The interior is reputedly modernised around 1960 and the church is included for its group value only.
