Methodist Church

The Methodist Church is a chapel built around 1890, constructed from rock-faced ashlar with rock-faced ashlar dressings and slate roofs. It features quoins, a first-floor band, and a dentilated cornice. The east front has four windows and is topped with a broad pediment. A projecting double porch has two segment-arched openings with keystones and a central column, with double doors in each opening that have half-glazed panels. The porch is topped with an openwork balustrade featuring prominent corner finials. On either side of the porch are single segment-arched windows with an impost band. Above the porch, there are two central round-headed windows divided by pilasters, with single half-columns on either side supporting a moulded cornice, flanked by single round-headed windows with keystones. The pediment features a triple arched decorative element. The sides of the building have five segment-headed windows on the ground floor with keystones, and five round-headed windows above.

Inside, the church has three-sided upper galleries with panelled fronts and fitted pews. The western end features a pilaster screen with an organ decorated with painted and gilded pipes. The galleries are supported by seven slim cast iron columns with decorative capitals. The ground floor retains fitted pews, dado panelling, panelled doors, and a raised central reading desk with a communion table below.

This late-19th century Methodist chapel is of special architectural interest, designed in a contemporary Classical style. It has seen little external alteration and retains its original fixtures and fittings, showcasing an impressive and well-preserved interior.
