Wesleyan Church (former)

The former Wesleyan Church including the 1865 fabric is significant. This is predominantly the brick structure and some of the windows. The roof cladding, barges and later alterations to the windows are not significant. 

The former Wesleyan church at Argyle has local historic, aesthetic and social significance. 

The church at 1 McClellans Crescent, Argyle is of historical significance for its association with the early Wesleyan movement, in particular the Rev.J. Mewton and later the Rev. J.Westcott, both of whom were active across a wide area from Kilmore to Heathcote. The building predates the merger of the Wesleyans and Methodists that took place in 1898. The historical association spans the history of the Methodist church up until the formation of the Uniting Church in 1969. Criterion A

The church is of aesthetic significance for its demonstration of the principal elements of the Primitive Gothic style, including the gable roof, porch, pointed arch windows and use of early bricks. Criterion D

The church is of social significance for the Argyle community as a place of continuous worship for just over 100 years. Criterion G
