Structure


The building on the junction of King Street and Rhosddu Road (adjacent to the bus station), was built in 1907–08 and officially opened in 1908, although the church congregation existed before the building. The church was built for the English Calvinistic Methodists as a replacement for their Hill Street premises, which is now the Grove Park Theatre. When it was built it housed a schoolroom. The schoolroom was occupied by late 1907, when the first service occurred. The building was designed by William Beddoe Rees from Cardiff, and is a Grade II listed building.
The building (including its chapel) is made of Ruabon red brick with stone dressings and a slate roof with terracotta crestings, and some additional yellow sandstone. It is of the Perpendicular Gothic architectural style, although also described to contain elements of the Arts and Crafts movement, with a long-wall entry plan and contains a tower. The entrance to the church is located at the base of the tower, with the tower forming a fourth bay on the west side. The tower is brick at its bottom, while becoming largely stone at its top, topped with a pyramidal spirelet. All windows on the building are simple stained glass with art nouveau motifs.
The church's main hall is at a right angle to the church at the south-west corner of the site. There are further rooms in the asymmetrical rear wings of the building, either side of the hall range.
The site of the building is bounded by a brick wall with stone copings, gate piers, and cast-iron gates.
