Alderley Edge Methodist Church is in Chapel Road, Alderley Edge, Cheshire, England. It is an active Methodist church.[1] The church and its associated hall are recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building.[2]

History

The church and hall were built in 1863 to a design by Hayley and Sons.[3] The interior of the church was re-ordered in the mid-1990s.[4]

Architecture

The buildings are constructed in sandstone with Welsh slate roofs. The plan of the church consists of a nave with two side chapels, and a southwest steeple. The hall stands behind the church. The church front facing the road is expressed as two storeys. Both storeys contain a four-light window, the upper window being sharply pointed. The tower is in three stages with an entrance porch on its side and a broach spire with lucarnes on its summit. The windows are lancets, and the bell openings have two lights with louvres. Along the sides of the church are three gabled two-light windows. The chapel contains a rose window.[2] The tracery in the windows is in Decorated style.[3] The windows in the church hall are simpler in design. Inside the church is a west gallery, and a pulpit and lectern, both in pitch-pine.[2] The two-manual organ was built in 1881 by A. Young and Sons, and renovated at a later date by Charles A. Smethurst .[5]
