Description
TEIGNMOUTH
SX9372 SOMERSET PLACE 25-1/6/198 (West side) 29/07/83 Methodist Church
GV II
Methodist church. Built 1845 as a Wesleyan chapel. Squared Plymouth rubblestone with rendered and freestone dressings, slate roof. PLAN: Rectangular with high aisles and 5-bay nave with a church hall to the rear right. EXTERIOR: plain lancet windows. 3 forward-facing gables; the outer, lower ones have quatrefoil windows to the apexes over large lancets with moulded hoods and engaged columns on the sill string course. The central bay has a similar, 3-light window over a pointed arch with hoodmould and impost string and plain intrados to C20 glazed double doors. The facade and returns are articulated by offset buttresses, those flanking the door have tall octagonal spirelets with steep plain octagonal pinnacles and the finial to the central gable is a pierced cross in a circle. INTERIOR: the shallow barrel-vaulted roof is supported by cast-iron octagonal columns with moulded caps. Curved braces to the sides form arcading to the aisles; probably original pews, mostly C20 fittings. Interesting non-conformist chapel in simple Gothic style. (The Buildings of England: Pevsner N & Cherry B: Devon: London: 1989-: 798).
