Wesley Methodist Church
GV II
Nonconformist chapel. 1846, enlarged and restored 1887 and
1907. Slatestone rubble walls with stucco details; dry slate
hipped roof with gable as pediment to wing on the right.
Cruciform aisle-less plan with chancel at north (ritual east)
end. Italianate style. 2-storey elevations.
Regular 4:2-bay west front has 2 taller bays with pediment on
the right, with recessed pairs of round-headed lights with
turned shafts under corbelled heads. Gable over modillioned
cornice resembles pediment with central oculus framing
cinquefoil with crucifix and deep verge soffit on exposed
purlins. Doorway to left-hand return with 6-panel door under
similar head.
Other bays have stucco pilasters flanking the windows; a
moulded mid-floor frieze broken forward at the pilasters and a
moulded eaves entablature similarly broken forward and with
modillions. Ground floor has channelled rustications to the
stucco and cross windows under segmental heads with keyblocks.
First floor has similar rustication to jambs and round-headed
2-light windows with round central panes over transoms and
moulded architraves with console keyblocks.
Left-hand return has large porch with central round-arched
doorway facing manse garden and wider principal round-headed
doorway to its right-hand return (facing road) with its arch
carried on slender columns with carved caps; traceried
tympanum over pair of 2-panel doors under segmental arch;
impost string with Doric frieze returns to other doorway also
with panelled door; both doorways with moulded arches and
console keys carried into entablature with consoles and
moulded cornice under parapet.
INTERIOR is largely a 1907 renovation and has a fine quality
moulded and carved panelled plaster ceiling. Gallery on 3
sides is carried on probably original slender Doric columns
and gallery front over with Doric frieze. Pitch pine pews of
1907 and elaborate rostrum of 1889 by John Ugalde donated by
Dr Andrew Hingston. The church makes an important contribution
to the streetscape.
