Windsor Methodist Church

Windsor Methodist Church, dated 1876, was designed by Morris and Stallwood and built by G Ravell. It is constructed from rock-faced Bargate rubble with Bath stone dressings, and has a Welsh slate roof featuring decorative bands of fish-scale slates, ashlar coping and finials, and red tile ridges. The building includes a six-bay nave with a gallery around three sides, a hall and vestry cross-wing range on the south end, and entrance stairs to the gallery on the north side.

The architecture is in the Gothic style, characterised by a chamfered plinth, sill strings, offset buttresses and dentilled eaves. Windows are plate-traceried with paired cusped lights; those to the gallery have octafoils in their heads, set within gablets, and some are coloured. Porches with arches supported by foliage-capitaled columns provide access at the west end of the north side and the north end of the east side. Double board doors are fitted with decorative iron hinges.

The north (Clarence Road) elevation displays three bays. The right bay features a porch with a cinquefoil window, the left bay features a stair-window with three lights, stepped at the base and an octafoil, and the central bay has three one-light windows above a large window of five lights and cinquefoils. The east elevation has a projecting right bay with a porch below a circular window with trefoils and a hoodmould, a shaped feature to the left gable of the nave, and a projecting gabled two-bay cross-wing on the left with windows matching those of the nave. The west elevation mirrors the east, with a canted bay at the left end containing a similar stair window. The rear is plainer, with chamfered square-headed openings, two board doors with two-light overlights, and linked windows of one, four and one lights; three two-light windows are above, and one is positioned at mid-height on either side.

Inside, the gallery is supported by octagonal wooden columns and features a front of board panels with fretted tops. The roof has arch-braced trusses. Original pews and an original organ, now relocated to the south end, remain. A foundation stone is located in the entrance vestibule. A print within the vestry indicates that the church formerly possessed a tall spire at its north end.
