Architecture of Methodist churches
About 700 Methodist chapels have been identified as significant for their architecture or history by author Ian Serjeant.
John Wesley is said to have had a preference for octagonal buildings.
A listing of listed buildings was prepared by the Methodist church of England's division of property in 1976.
