[1/1] B0353 Former Wesleyan Church

Statement of Significance

A Wesleyan church of well-dressed bluestone, built in 1865 to the design of the local architect Daniel Nicholson, and unusually sophisticated in its use of a classical temple elevation in which an arch breaks into the pediment in the manner of the Italian Renaissance Church of S. Andrea, Mantua, by L B Alberti -at the same time naive in its combination of this with an Italian Romanesque window.
