Description
Troon Methodist Church is a Wesleyan Methodist chapel dated 1863, located on Camborne Newton Road. The building is constructed from snecked killas rubble with granite quoins and dressings, featuring rubble sides and rear, and has a slate roof. It has a rectangular plan with three bays by three bays and a gable facing the road. The two-storey gabled facade is symmetrical, featuring a wide basket-arched doorway in the center with quoined jambs and stepped ashlar voussoirs, panelled double doors, and a fanlight with two raked glazing bars. There are tall round-headed windows on each side and a shorter one above the door, all with quoined jambs and ashlar voussoirs, and stained glass. The gable has a hollow-moulded cornice treated as a pediment and contains a moulded roundel with raised lettering that reads "WESLEY 1863 CHAPEL." The three-bay side walls have square-headed windows at ground floor and round-headed windows above.
Inside, there is a horseshoe gallery supported by a beam and cast-iron Tuscan columns, with coupled brackets on the projected front. The gallery is panelled and features consoles and modillions on the top rail, along with a clock in the center of the east end facing the pulpit. The original benches in the gallery are reminiscent of the 18th century, with high plain-panelled backs and ramped partitions. The interior also boasts a large and elaborate moulded plaster ceiling rose, a balustraded rostrum with a bow-fronted panelled pulpit, and an apse flanked by splayed Corinthian pilasters, now filled by an organ. This church is a notable example of its type and date, and it is currently the only Methodist chapel remaining in Troon, as a second chapel has been demolished.
