Wesley Centre - Izeria

The Wesley Centre is a historic building in Malton, North Yorkshire, a town in England. John Wesley preached in Malton in the 1770s, and in 1811 the Wesleyan Methodist Church built a church on Saville Street in the town. The building was grade II listed in 1974, and was upgraded to grade II* in 1995. In 2015, structural issues were discovered with the roof, and the Methodist Church twice attempted to sell the building, without success. Instead, £2 million was raised to restore the building, so that the main hall would become a 600-seat concert venue. The building will also host Sunday religious services, a community cafe, and a food bank.

The church is built of pink and cream mottled brick on a stone plinth, with dressings of stone and orange-red brick, a floor band, a sill band, an eaves band, and a hipped pantile roof. There are two storeys and a front of five bays, the middle three bays projecting under a pediment containing a scrolled datestone. Steps lead up to the central doorway that has engaged Tuscan columns, a semicircular traceried fanlight, a plain frieze and a moulded dentilled cornice. This is flanked by doors with similar fanlights, and the outer bays and the upper floor contain round-headed windows with Y-tracery. All the openings are in round-headed recesses. Over the outer bays is a plain coped parapet.

In 1821, the Baptist Itinerant Society started preaching in Malton, and before the end of the year, six worshippers were baptised in the River Derwent. Regular services began in 1822, and funds were raised to construct a church on Wells Lane, with the foundation stone laid in 1823, and the building completed in 1824. By 1857, the church had 42 members, although its evening services attracted up to 80 worshippers. The chapel was extended to the rear in 1863. The building was grade II listed in 1974. The church closed in 2022, due to a declining congregation. The church is in painted brick on the front, with pink and cream mottled brick on the right and at the rear, paired modillion eaves, and a hipped slate roof with wrought iron corner scrolls. There are two storeys and a front of three bays. In the centre is a doorway with a tall radial-glazed fanlight. The windows are sashes also with radial-glazed round heads. To the right of the doorway is an iron boot scraper.
