Description

Drumady Methodist Church is a small, mid-19th century barn church situated on the southern boundary of the Lisrace Townland in County Fermanagh. While retaining simple internal detailing, its external appearance has been affected by more recent, inappropriate alterations.

The church has a pitched roof covered in natural slate and features half-round metal rainwater goods. The walls are pebble-dashed over a painted cement-rendered base course, with tooled and painted stepped stone quoins. All openings are set in painted cement-rendered reveals, with painted stone cills. A projecting gabled entrance porch, aligned north-west to south-east, adjoins the south-east gable. The porch features cement-rendered quoins, a timber-framed lancet window in the centre of its south-east face, a segmental headed timber-sheeted door on its left cheek, and is blank on the right. The south-west elevation has three equally spaced, semi-circular headed windows with Y-tracery uPVC frames. The north-west gable is blank, while the north-east elevation has a window similar to those on the south-west elevation on its left end. An addition with a monopitched natural slate roof adjoins the north-east side of the window, and incorporates a pair of metal-framed top-hung casement windows to the left, featuring a central timber mullion and a concrete cill. To the right of the window is a boiler house, which itself has a flat cement roof and two tongue-and-groove (t+g) sheeted doors on the south-east face. The remaining elevations of the boiler house are blank. A small garden fronts the church, enclosed from the road by a concrete block wall (designed to resemble stone) with ramped cement coping, and accessed by a cast-iron gate supported on square-in-section gate piers.

The church was not shown on the 1857 Ordnance Survey 6-inch map, but is mentioned in the second valuation published in 1862, compiled in 1860. This suggests a construction date between 1857 and 1860. The building was constructed between 1840 and 1859. The Methodist Church owns the building, and it continues to be used as a place of worship.
