Description

The Methodist Church, dated 1817, features late 19th-century alterations. It is constructed of random rubble with a hipped slate roof and is a single-storey building with two bays. The large semi-circular headed windows are framed in dressed stone with pronounced imposts and keystones, and have bracketed sills. The cast-iron glazing bars create simple tracery, and there are plain pilasters flanking each window and along the frontage.

The central entrance is set within a projecting solid-sided portico, which has a moulded cornice and entablature. The door opening is semi-circular, with emphasised imposts and a keystone, leading to paired four-panelled doors and a fanlight with radiating glazing bars. To the right of the frontage, there is an addition in a matching style, featuring a single window in a semi-circular headed stone surround.

The forecourt wall is made of rubble with dressed stone capping, and there are piers on either side topped with cross-gabled caps. The central gate piers also have cross-gabled caps and support paired wrought-iron gates. A wrought and cast-iron lamp overthrow is present, although the lamp itself was missing at the time of the last survey in May 1984. The interior includes stained glass, a gallery, ornamental plasterwork, and a pulpit.
