Description
The Methodist Church, built between 1874 and 1876, is constructed of coursed and dressed stone with ashlar dressings and features slate roofs. The church includes a nave, chancel, north and south transepts, and a south-west tower. It has plate tracery windows, with two located at the west end featuring rook shafts with carved capitals and a rose window above. The transepts contain a group of three lancet windows, and there are buttresses with set-offs and gablets. The south-west tower has a buttressed square base and an octagonal upper stage, which includes broached and bell openings with nook shafts that also have carved capitals, topped with a short stone spire.
Attached to the north-west side is a Sunday school built in 1937. The property is enclosed by a dwarf stone boundary wall to the north and west, which is complemented by decorative cast iron railings and two pairs of stone gatepiers with large caps featuring carved capitals and crochets. Inside, the church has an arch-braced roof supported by corbelled colonettes, which hold stone angels. The layout is cruciform, with a short chancel and transepts.
