- II
Church (Methodist). Dated 1869 on foundation stone: designed by A. Lender of
Barnstable. Ham stone ashlar with Welsh slated roof having ornamental clay
ridges. Non-Conformist version of C13 Gothic. The main (South) facade in the
form of a wide gable with 2-gabled porches, each having pointed cusped arches to
the recessed doorways, with short freestanding jamb shafts: between these
porches a 5-lancet arcade, of which 3 panels are glazed, and above a 5-light
lancet window under a common pointed hood, flanked by 2 buttresses, the
right-hand having a turretted top (formerly with spirelet): the gable has a
triple-lancet recess under the coping, and is crowned by a stone cross finial.
The West facade has 6-bays: bay 1 has a plain pointed segmental arched doorway
up three steps; bays 2 to 5, separated by offset buttresses, are all gabled,
with pairs of cusped lancets at two levels, the smaller to the ground floor
level; bay 6 has a semi-circular projecting wing on octagonal base (of one
storey), with 5 small unhooded lancet windows below a string course and parapet,
which masks a conical slated roof. The interior has the usual two-level
arrangement, the chapel proper being on the first floor, its roof being
supported by ornamental cast iron columns. The gallery is reached by spiral
stairs. The Church was severely damaged by enemy action during World War II and
subsequently restored.
