16th Heavy Mortar Battery Hall

Freestanding three-bay gable-fronted Methodist church, built 1848, having three-bay two-storey side elevation with lean-to extension to rear. Now in use as military hall. Pitched artificial slate roof having rendered chimneystacks. Lined-and-ruled rendered walls to front with square-headed niches with limestone sills and moulded render surrounds, ashlar limestone pilasters, and limestone pediment with fascia and acroteria with anthemion motif. Central square-headed replacement timber panelled double-leaf door with render cornice with consoles and limestone steps. Rendered wall having cast-iron gate with military insignia to site boundary.

This is a notable example of the successful re-use of a disused building. This is an interesting example of a temple front motif complete with anthemions, plinth, and steps. The building has played a significant role in the historical and social development of the area.
