Glaisdale Head Methodist Church And Walls

Glaisdale Head Methodist Church, built in 1821, features an attached manse that is no longer occupied. The church has extensions added in 1850. It is constructed of coursed herringbone-tooled sandstone and has a graduated Lakeland slate roof with stone dressings, while the manse extension has a purple slate roof. The chapel is a single tall storey with two square bays, partly hidden from the road by a projecting gabled bay of the manse, which extends further to the right.

On the east gable end, the chapel has two tall round-arched sash windows with glazing bars and interlaced heads, supported by cut voussoirs. Similar windows are found on the north and south faces. The west face features a small gabled porch with doors on two sides and a plaque above it with an oval panel and fan spandrels, inscribed: "Methodist Church, erected by subscription for the sacred worship of God, Anno Domini 1821." There is a blocked window above the porch and a small roundel in the gable end. The interior is plain, with a pulpit against the south wall, curved benches arranged around the north and east, and movable choir benches at the west.

The original attached manse has two storeys and a basement due to the slope of the ground, with one gabled bay facing the road. There are steps leading to the door in the inner corner, a late 19th-century sash window on each floor to the right, and a small basement light. A storeroom door is located below the steps. The gable end has a basement door and one high window. The manse also features a parallel projecting east extension with steps leading to a door in the angle, late 19th-century sashes to the right, and a rock-faced plinth.

The front garden wall has a heavy flat coping. To the left of the steps leading to the chapel door, there is a large square pier dated with a domed square cap that supports railings with curved heads, providing a protective barrier for the path leading up to the chapel.
