Description



TEIGNMOUTH

SX9372 SOMERSET PLACE
25-1/6/198 (West side)
29/07/83 Methodist Church

GV II

Methodist church. Built 1845 as a Wesleyan chapel. Squared
Plymouth rubblestone with rendered and freestone dressings,
slate roof.
PLAN: Rectangular with high aisles and 5-bay nave with a
church hall to the rear right.
EXTERIOR: plain lancet windows. 3 forward-facing gables; the
outer, lower ones have quatrefoil windows to the apexes over
large lancets with moulded hoods and engaged columns on the
sill string course. The central bay has a similar, 3-light
window over a pointed arch with hoodmould and impost string
and plain intrados to C20 glazed double doors.
The facade and returns are articulated by offset buttresses,
those flanking the door have tall octagonal spirelets with
steep plain octagonal pinnacles and the finial to the central
gable is a pierced cross in a circle.
INTERIOR: the shallow barrel-vaulted roof is supported by
cast-iron octagonal columns with moulded caps. Curved braces
to the sides form arcading to the aisles; probably original
pews, mostly C20 fittings.
Interesting non-conformist chapel in simple Gothic style.
