Congregation of the Wesleyan Methodist Church, purchased the site of the former
Primitive Methodist Church from William Fielding. Adjoining land was acquired in
1873 from congregational member Jonathan Tyerman and in 1880 a new Wesleyan
Methodist Church was built on the combined lot. Decorated with quoins and hood
surrounds, it features a steeply pitched roof and simple lancet windows, which were
hallmarks of the Gothic Revival style. It is designated for its historical significance and
the following architectural features:
Exterior:
