Description
The Methodist Church was built in 1867 as the Bible Christian Church. The east front features squared knapped flints, while the south front is made of coursed stone rubble. Both facades include white brick dressings and quoins. The south front has five narrow pointed lancet windows, and the east front has two larger lancet windows along with a smaller triple window. The building has gable ends to the east and a later gabled flint porch, showcasing a good example of the 13th-century Gothic style.
