Knowle Methodist Church

Knowle Methodist Church is a church built in 1904, constructed from snecked Pennant rubble with limestone dressings and featuring a tiled roof with copper and shingle details. The church has a cruciform plan and is designed in the Arts and Crafts style, lacking a chancel.

The west end is steeply gabled and includes ashlar bands and an apex cross, along with a large six-light window that has two king mullions and reticulated tracery. This window is flanked by angle buttresses topped with octagonal finials and flared copper caps. In front of the church is a gabled porch that features a shallow two-centred arched doorway beneath a segmental arch adorned with dentils, leading to a two-leaf door with foliate stained glass. The flanking parapeted blocks have cinquefoil-headed windows with square heads.

The north elevation consists of three bays with two-light windows featuring reticulated tracery, separated by buttresses and set under sprocketed eaves. The banded north transept has a four-light window, while the south elevation mirrors this, with a plain south transept that includes a spheroid triangular window with trefoils. Above the crossing is a steep pyramidal lantern covered in shingles.

Attached to the east end is a two-storey annex with a brick gable-end stack. The north elevation of the annex has cinquefoil-headed windows on the ground floor flanking a wider three-light window, and six flattened trefoil-headed windows on the first floor, along with an angle buttress leading to a bartizon in the corner with the church.

Inside, the pointed arch below the crossing is supported by marble colonnettes with stiff leaf capitals, and the church features a hammerbeam roof on corbels.
