Description
The Methodist Church, School Room, Coach House, and attached walls were built in 1879 by Foster and Wood of Bristol. The buildings are constructed from squared and coursed rockfaced rubble with flush ashlar quoins and dressings, featuring stone copings, plain tile roofs, and brick stacks. The church has a three-bay design that is oriented at right angles to the road, and it is linked to a four-bay School Room by a corridor that includes service rooms. The School Room is further connected by a loggia to a porte cochere and the Coach House, creating an irregular L-shaped plan.
The architecture is in a free-form Gothic style, with the church featuring a southeast porch and a south apsidal end adorned with cusped openwork panelled parapets and crocketted pinnacles. The windows consist of two and three-cusped lights in a florid Perpendicular style. A northeast staircase turret with a pyramidal cap provides access to the gallery. Inside, there is a south gallery, a barrel roof in the nave, and a canted barrel roof in the chancel, along with contemporary fittings and stained glass in all windows.
The School Room has cross-mullion windows beneath gabled heads, and some applied half-timbering with brick infill on the east and west gable ends. The buildings feature good dentil coursed bargeboards and similar details in the Coach House complex, which includes tall panelled brick stacks. There are spear railings that fence between the buildings and the graveyard, with boundary walls that are one metre high and gate entrances at the east and west ends, complemented by fine cast iron gas lamp standards. Additional walls and railings enclose the Coach House courtyard. This complex was built for Sidney Hill of Langford House and forms a notable group with the Clock Tower.
