Gunwen Methodist Church

Gunwen Methodist Church is a Methodist church dated 1869. It is constructed of granite rubble with brick dressings, partly rendered, and features a slate roof with gable ends at the front and rear. The church has two storeys, with a schoolroom on the ground floor and an auditorium on the first floor.

At the liturgical west end, there is a doorway that currently leads to the schoolroom, which likely originally provided access to an internal porch with stairs to the auditorium. There is also a later external stair at the rear that leads directly to the first floor. The front gable end has a central plain door with a brick segmental head, flanked by 16-pane sash windows on either side, each with brick surrounds and segmental heads. The first floor is slightly set back over a band course and features two round-headed sashes in brick surrounds, also with 16 panes and upper radial glazing bars. Above this, there is a recessed round-headed slate datestone in a brick surround, inscribed with "Wesleyan Chapel 1869" in uppercase lettering. The eaves are bracketed.

On the right side, there are two 16-pane sashes at the ground floor, with a granite band course, while the upper storey is rendered and has two round-headed sashes similar to those on the front. There is a single-storey porch with a pitched roof on the right end, which has a door at the front and double doors on the side. This porch extends to the rear over a straight stair leading to the upper level, which is lit by a 16-pane sash at the upper level and has a gable at the top of the stair. The rear left of the auditorium features the upper section of a round-headed sash, with a full round-headed sash to the right. There is also a single-storey lean-to on the right with a slate roof. The left side has two 16-pane sashes at the ground floor, while the upper level is rendered with two round-headed sashes. The interior was not accessible at the time of the survey in June 1986.
