Description
Sutton-under-Whitestonecliffe Methodist Church, originally a Wesleyan Chapel, was built in 1850. It features coursed squared stone and a grey slate roof. The building is a single-storey square cell with a lower pentagonal bay at the rear. It has quoins and a central porch with a double door beneath a fanlight, set in a quoined round-arched surround, and barge boards on the gable. On either side of the porch are tall, round-arched, 4-pane sash windows in quoined surrounds with projecting sills. Above the porch, there is a large stone with an oral recess inscribed "WESLEYAN/1850/CHAPEL". The eaves have a band, and the hipped roof has ashlar coping and a central louvre. Each side of the building contains two sashes with glazing bars, stone lintels, and projecting sills. At the rear, the pentagonal bay is partly constructed of stone, featuring a door on one side and a sash with glazing bars on another, while part of it has been rebuilt in brick. Inside, there is later panelling, pews, and a preaching pew fronted by a 19th-century rail, with a rear double door to the left.
