Description
Millbrook Methodist Church is a Methodist church built in 1873. It features limestone rubble construction with a rendered front and a slate roof adorned with crested ridged tiles. The building includes an auditorium with a two-storey porch at the front, where the entrance is located beneath the gallery. The auditorium has an apsidal end for the organ chamber, with a single-storey vestry and boiler room situated at the rear. There are 20th-century schoolrooms attached to the rear right.
The front of the church has a porch set on a plinth, featuring a round-arched doorway with double doors, flanked by fanlights and single lights on either side, all topped with a moulded string course. Above this, there is a pedimental string course supported by corbels. On the first floor, a cill band course runs beneath three round-arched lights with margin glazing, and above them is a circular inscription plaque that reads "Wesley 1873 John Waterman, Thomas Jasper." A segmental pediment rests on corbels above this section. The auditorium has one bay on both the right and left sides, with ground floor windows featuring margin-glazed sashes and fanlights, decorated with stylised plaster anthems and moulded string. The first floor has a band course that supports fluted pilasters, with round-headed margin-glazed sashes topped by moulded pedimental gables, and a central die surmounted by an urn with a ball finial.
The right and left sides of the building have four tall round-headed margin-glazed sashes, along with two additional sashes at a lower level. The left side features an attached two-storey block with a hipped roof, rendered front, round-arched doorway with a 20th-century door and fanlight, moulded string, cornice, and blocking course. The rear includes an apse and small single-storey blocks for the vestry and boilerhouse on both sides, with a circular opening in the upper gable end that has a pierced wooden ventilation louvre.
Inside, the auditorium contains a gallery at the entrance end, supported by cast iron panels and piers. The rostrum has stairs on both sides with cast iron balustrades, and a central reading desk set on fluted wooden columns, also featuring cast iron panels similar to those in the gallery. The communion rail is designed with a cast iron balustrade. The auditorium and gallery are furnished with wooden pews.
