Claremont Methodist Church With Attached Church Hall

Claremont Methodist Church, built in 1895, is accompanied by an attached church hall dated 1900. The structure is made of squared stone rubble with granite dressings and rock-faced granite quoins, topped with a slate roof featuring ridge tiles and gable ends. The layout consists of three parallel ranges with gable ends facing the road. The church, located on the left, has a single auditorium plan with an entrance at the front gable end and the ritual east at the rear. The church hall is attached on the right side via a linking corridor.

Architecturally, the church is designed in a Gothic style that loosely reflects Early English influences. The front gable end features a central bay that projects forward, supported by pilasters and topped with corbelled pyramidal pinnacles and finials. The entrance consists of central double doors with Gothic panelling and a fanlight, sheltered by a gabled hood with a continuous hood mould. Above, there is a bandcourse with blank cusped panels and a quatrefoil set in a roundel within the gable. Flanking the central bay are pointed arched lights with hood moulds.

The corridor on the right side has double doors that connect the church to the church hall, which is two stories tall. The gable end of the hall features four single shouldered arched lights on the ground floor and a datestone set in the gable above the band course. The first floor has a triple window with central paired trefoil-headed lights and plate tracery, flanked by single lights on each side, all beneath a continuous hood mould with a frieze of trefoils above. The gable has raised coped verges and rusticated quoins. The left side of the church includes two pointed arched windows and a wing with a single pointed arched light and a hipped roof. The interior has not been inspected.
