Overview
Wikipedia's account of the Sheffield architect William John Hale records Rawmarsh Wesleyan Chapel, High Street, opened on 9 July 1908 and now Rawmarsh Methodist Church. Geograph describes an impressive building in subdued Art Nouveau Gothic. The church is not among the listed buildings in Rawmarsh, whose listed church is the nearby Anglican St Mary's.
The building is used for worship and community activity. Day-to-day management is by The High Street Centre Ltd, a charity established by the church with local partners. Visitors can see the church and the later redevelopment of the premises for community use.
