Methodist Church, 1913, of stone-dressed red-brown brick with pebble
dashed gables and graded grey slate roofs. The Church and Sunday
School form an L, with tower and vestry in its angle. In
Perpendicular manner. The Church has a 5-light (ritual) west window
facing road - 3 lights under a square head flanked each side by a
lower pointed-arched light. The schoolroom (left) has a 6-light
window in end gable, in a camber-arched recess with ogee hoodmould.
Three 3-light trefoil-headed windows are in (ritual) south side of
Church. The crenellated tower has traceried pebbledash panels in
place of bell-openings. Double doors of oak. Mid C20 flat-roofed
extension at rear.
Interior: The church of 4 bays has arch-braced trusses and
contemporary furnishings. Church, schoolroom and vestry are designed
to communicate (for joint use) through pointed archways with folding
doors.
The church was built as a Primitive Methodist Chapel, near the site of
one (demolished) erected in 1836, of which the datestone is in the
rear gable of the present building. The site is associated with, and
the burial place of, John Wedgwood (tomb q.v.).
