GV II
Wesleyan Methodist chapel, now United Methodist church. 1817,
remodelled 1862-63 by Poulton and Woodman. Brick, with facade
of sandstone ashlar, slate roof. Rectangular plan at
right-angles to street. Two storeys, a symmetrical tripartite
facade dominated by a very dramatic giant round-headed archway
projected from the centre on 2 pairs of giant free-standing
Corinthian columns with a moulded cornice to each pair (run
out to the sides), and with a moulded surround to the arch,
and heavily moulded gable cornice with dentils. Steps under
the arch lead to a full-height rectangular inner porch which
has (inter alia) a giant round-headed window (over altered
doors), and a small round-headed doorway in each side
(blocked). The narrower and lower side bays (which are
porches) each have one round-headed window on each floor, with
imposts and keystones (both lower windows blocked with notice
boards), and a parapet above the run-out cornice. All these
windows have circular geometrical glazing. The side walls have
round-headed windows on both floors, all with margin panes.
The rear has a shallow 2-storey extension with gabled porches
at each end, both with round-headed doorways and fanlights
with radiating glazing bars. INTERIOR: horseshoe gallery of
1875, with curved foliated cast-iron balustrade; rostrum with
similar balustrading.
