Former Wesleyan School

The Former Wesleyan School in Truro was opened in 1887, designed by Silvanus Trevail and built with masonry by John Farley and carpentry by W.J. Tippet. After the school closed, it was converted into the Church House of St Mary's Methodist Church. The building is in a classical style, featuring a two-storey dressed granite front and a slate roof, with a pediment at the front and a hip roof at the rear. It has a rectangular plan, roof ventilators, and a brick lateral stack on the right side. The facade has a 1:3:1 bay arrangement, with a plinth, sill string, and moulded and dentilled cornices. A triangular pediment with an oculus is situated above the three stepped lights of the central bays. There are round keyed arches over the doorways on the left and right, as well as over the first-floor windows, which have glazing bars and margin lights. The three ground-floor windows feature squat two-centred arches, and there is an inscribed plaque above the sill string. The rear of the building has a 1:3:1 bay arrangement and is rendered, with an extension to the ground floor. The interior has not been inspected.
