History

The church was built in 1913 to replace an earlier Primitive Methodist chapel of 1836 that was located nearby.

Architecture

Constructed in red-brown brick with stone dressings, the church has a grey slate roof. The architectural style is Perpendicular. The church and the Sunday school together have an L-shaped plan, and in the angle between them is a tower and a vestry. Facing the road, the church on the right has a five-light window. To the left is a crenellated tower with traceried pebbledashed panels instead of bell openings. Further to the left is the former Sunday school, with two gables, each of which contains a three-light window. On the rear of the building is a date stone carrying the date of 1836.
