1907 by Henry Harper of Nottingham, designed to seat 300 worshippers. Red brick with Ashlar dressings in the Free Perpendicular style. Atop the front gable is a Maltese cross above a beautiful stained glass window with the inscription Occupy To Come. Built by Edward Godwin and Sons.
The hall to the rear was added in 1939.
The founding of the church followed a struggle between the temperance movement and the brewers in the town who drew up a scheme for this site to build a new public house. The Methodist congregation secured the site after winning financial backing from Marshall Jay, a London churchman.
