Long Street Methodist Church and School

Long Street Methodist Church and Schools were built in 1899. It is an outstanding Grade II* listed building incorporating Arts and Crafts, Art Nouveau and modern stylistic elements into a magnificent whole. The writers of the latest Pevsner guide describe the interior of the church as a 'knockout', and the adjacent school is pure Arts and Crafts with a lovely 'outdoor room' garden accessed through an Art Nouveau gateway topped by a cubic modern sculpture.
Local artist Steve Whitworth has spent the last few months drawing and painting almost every Edgar Wood building in the Middleton area and these will be on display. Steve will also be holding art workshops in the church on Saturday 12th and 19th.
