Description
Redruth Methodist Church is a Methodist church dated 1826, located on Wesley Street in Redruth. The church features a granite ashlar facade, with the rest of the structure built from slobbered granite rubble and topped with a slate roof. It has a rectangular plan measuring 6 by 8 bays, with its gable facing the road.
The building is two storeys high and displays a symmetrical, simple classical style. The pedimented facade includes a first-floor band that runs around the entire building, and a four-bay ground floor colonnade situated between projected porches at the first and sixth bays. These porches are made of channelled masonry, are rectangular in shape, and have flat roofs. Each porch features a large round-headed doorway with rusticated voussoirs and a prominent keystone. The colonnade consists of slender Tuscan columns supporting a plain frieze, which protects round-headed doorways in the second and fifth bays, as well as round-headed windows in the third and fourth bays. All doorways are fitted with panelled double doors and quadrantal overlights, and between the windows is an added war memorial.
On the first floor, there are six round-headed windows, and the pedimented gable displays panels with raised lettering that reads: "WESLEY," "1826," and "CHAPEL," along with additional lettering below stating "REDRUTH METHODIST CHURCH." The return walls of the church have eight round-headed windows on each floor.
Inside, the church features a continuous gallery supported by fluted iron columns with foliated capitals. The gallery front has rounded open panels containing cast bronze open-work. The ceiling is flat and adorned with pierced roundels. There is a very ornate late 19th-century pulpit, and on the wall behind it, three round-headed wooden Commandment Tables are displayed. An elaborate organ case is mounted on the gallery above the pulpit.
