Bulkeley Methodist Church is a historic building located on Wrexham Road in the village of Bulkeley, Cheshire, England. It is recognized as a special old building and is protected by the government. This means it is a Grade II listed building.
History of the Church
The church building was completed in 1861. When it first opened, it was known as the Jubilee Primitive Methodist Chapel.
Design and Features
The church is built from red bricks and has a roof made of slate. Even though it was built in 1861, its design looks like the older Georgian style.
Outside the Church
The building has a rectangular shape. The main entrance is on the south side. It has a special doorway with a rounded window above it, called a fanlight. On each side of the door are tall, rounded windows that can slide open, known as sash windows.
Above these windows, there is a triangular part called a pediment. This part holds a panel with the church's original name and the year it was built. Similar sash windows can be seen along the sides of the church building.
Inside the Church
Inside, there is a decorative screen behind the altar, called a reredos. This screen has three arched openings. The pulpit, where the minister speaks, has six sides. Experts have described the church as a "complete and lovely example of a small chapel from its time."
Recently, the church building was purchased. It is now being changed into a private home.
