Hinderwell Methodist Church

The church, in 2011

Hinderwell Methodist Church is a historic building in Hinderwell, a village in North Yorkshire, in England.

The chapel was built for the Wesleyan Methodist Church in 1873.[1] In 1886, it was extended to provide a room for a Sunday school.[2] By 2024, the congregation had relocated to the former Sunday school, and the chapel was sold for conversion into housing.[3] It has been grade II listed since 1985.[2]

The buildings are constructed of stone with Welsh slate roofs, stone copings, kneelers and finials. They form two parallel ranges, the chapel taller. Each has quoins, an eaves band, and a central round-arched doorway in a gabled projection flanked by round-arched windows. Above the chapel doorway is an inscribed plaque and a small round-headed window, and above the school doorway is a circular window. In front is a low forecourt wall with four-gabled gate piers and alternating raised rounded coping stones.[2][4]
