The building on the junction of King Street and Rhosddu Road (adjacent to thebus station),[9] was built in 1907[10]–08 and officially opened in 1908, although the church congregation existed before the building.[5][4][11] The church was built for the EnglishCalvinistic 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.[12] The building was designed byWilliam Beddoe Rees from Cardiff, and is aGrade II listed building.[11]
The building (including its chapel)[13] is made of Ruabonred brick withstone dressings and aslate roof withterracottacrestings, and some additional yellow sandstone.[12] It is of thePerpendicular Gothic architectural style,[4][11] although also described to contain elements of theArts and Crafts movement,[13] with a long-wall entry plan[11] 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 stone at the bell-chamber stage, and topped with a pyramidalspirelet. All windows on the building are simplestained glass withart nouveaumotifs.[4]
The church's 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.[4]
The site of the building is bounded by a brick wall with stonecopings, gatepiers, andcast-iron gates.[4]
Built 1907-8. Ruabon brick and some stone. Perp tracery and a tower. Front with pepperbox corner turrets and a broad window containing Art Nouveau tracery. A pair of corbelled buttresses serve as mullions and continue up to become pin-nacles. By W. Beddoes Rees of Cardiff (Ian Allan).
