Description

Hall Street Methodist Church is a 19th-century place of worship featuring a nave with a steep south gable front. The gable is adorned with gabled clasping angle buttresses topped with ashlar octagonal finials, and the gable coping is made of ashlar with an openwork cusped parapet that reaches up to the apex finial, which has ogee canopies and an octagonal spirelet. The entrance is a pointed arched door with a hoodmould and carved head stops, situated below a large 5-light traceried window that boasts elaborate cusping and a cinquefoil head, also with a hoodmould featuring carved stops.

The nave has four windows, separated by stepped and gabled buttresses, each containing 2-light ogee-traceried windows with pointed heads and hoodmoulds, complemented by a string course and an openwork parapet. The added transepts have lower roofs and coped gables, constructed from brown rubble stone.

A tower is located to the south of the west transept, which blocks the fourth bay of the nave. This tower has three stages, with the lowest featuring a moulded west door and short column shafts, along with a south plate-traceried 2-light window similar to that of the east transept. The second stage includes small plain lancet lights, while the third stage, added in 1896, has paired lancet louvred bell-openings with hoodmoulds, a cornice, a pierced parapet, and crocketted angle finials. The tower is topped with a recessed octagonal spire covered in fishscale slates.

The west transept features a ground floor 4-light west window set under a relieving arch, with a larger 4-light window above that has a cinquefoil head. The east transept contains a 3-light east window over a ground floor 4-light window.

At the north end, there is a canted 3-sided apse with ashlar quoins and flat-headed plate traceried 3-light windows, each with three quatrefoils above. An unusual triangular window is found on the north side of the lean-to vestry on the east.

Inside, the church boasts a large open timber roof in the nave and a low stone "chancel" wall.
