Background
History
The church was built in 1817 as a Wesleyan Methodist chapel. It was remodelled in 1862–63 by Poulton and Woodman. In the 1990s a hall in the church was converted into sleeping accommodation for the poor and homeless, and the entrance area was enlarged, allowing for the creation of a coffee shop, kitchen, crèche, and toilets. Improvements were made in the access to the front of the church in 2006.
Architecture
Inside the church is a horseshoe-shaped gallery carried on thin cast iron columns with Ionic caps, This was replaced in 1881 by a three-manual organ built by W. E. Richardson.
