Melbourne Methodist Church on Church Street is a full-blown example of the Gothic Revival (1869) and founded as a Place of Worship in 1870 replacing an older chapel next door, which was converted into a Sunday-school. Now Haynes Furnishers.
The church used to have a dramatic spire, similar to the nearby Baptist church, but this was lost in 1953.
It has a frontage of rock-faced local stone and the roof is tiled with Welsh slate. Slate roofs were often laid at a lower pitch than tiled ones, meaning that the roofscape of slated buildings is often less dominant than that of tiled buildings, changing the proportions of the building.
The iron railings outside the building are a decorative lightweight design. The boarded doors of the building have ornate strap hinges.
