II

Methodist church. 1874 by Ernest Bates, with later C19
additions. Snecked limestone rubble with sandstone ashlar
dressings and slate roofs.
STYLE: C13/14 Gothic.
PLAN: the orientation is reversed, with the pews facing
towards a sanctuary at the west end. Comprises a 4-bay nave,
an east porch under a lean-to roof (with doors to the north
and south), a chancel-like projection at the west end which
originally contained an organ chamber above a vestry, an added
vestry projecting northwards from the western bay of the nave,
and school rooms projecting towards the south. The latter were
also extended later in the C19.
EXTERIOR: the nave windows, which are separated by buttresses,
are each of 3 trefoiled lights and have plate tracery of a
trefoil and 2 quatrefoils. The east gable is coped with a
cross finial and the porch is lit by mullioned windows of
2-3-2 lights. A foundation stone below is inscribed: 'This
stone was laid by Mrs Alexander Brogden Sept 11th 1874. Ernest
Bates, Architect, Manchester.' The east window of the nave is
of 6 lights with Geometrical tracery. The east wall of the
school room has a window of 3 trefoiled lancet lights rising
into a gable, with 2-light windows to left and right. At the
left there is a porch with a hipped roof.
INTERIOR: the internal walls are plastered and the arch-braced
roof trusses have iron tie rods and have wall posts rising
from corbelled shafts with rough stone capitals: like the
external hood mould stops the intended carving was never
carried out. At the west end there is a pointed chamfered arch
divided horizontally by a blind arcade. Below, a wall contains
2 doorways to the former vestry. Above are the front pipes of
the organ, now no longer functional. The pulpit and sanctuary
railings are in oak in a Gothic style and are C20
replacements.
