Banner Cross Methodist Church

Plans for a Methodist church in the Banner Cross district were formed in the early years of the 20th century when it was revealed that housing was to be built in the area.

The building was designed by the London architects George Baines and Son of Victoria Street and built by Charles Ward of Sheffield.

The church is built in the Gothic Revival style and is constructed from coursed squared stone with red brick dressings around some of the more decorative windows.

The design of the building is different from Hale's earlier churches, with a move away from complex detailing to a more simple style characterised by bold massing and rigid geometry.

The adjacent 1907 church which now serves as the schoolroom is built in the Arts and Crafts style from rock-faced stone and brick, with ashlars dressings and gabled and hipped slate roofs.
