Stoke Sub Hamdon Methodist Church

Stoke Sub Hamdon Methodist Church is a Methodist Church built in 1909. It features a façade made of Ham stone ashlar, with coursed rubble on the sides and rear, and a plain clay tiled roof behind a front coped and stepped gable. The church is designed in a simple Art-Nouveau style. The front gable has pilasters that extend above the roof line, adorned with chequer ornament and moulded coping topped with a cross finial. Below this, there is a projecting timber-framed porch with plain tiles, situated between two raked buttress walls that have flat tops with ball finials. The porch contains a pair of wide part-glazed doors under a timber gable, flanked by small-pane casement sidelights. Above the porch, there is a group of three lancet windows, with the center window being taller, featuring an impost string and a shared arched label, and the windows have Art-Nouveau leading. The side elevations have pairs of plain chamfered windows beneath the eaves, showcasing exposed rafter ends, and these windows are leaded to match. There is a three-bay extension at the north end that matches the original design, as well as a flat-roofed extension to the east, likely dating from the same period. The interior has not been seen. This church is a well-detailed example of its type and appears to be unaltered.
