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.

- Heptonstall Methodist Church, West Yorkshire, identified by Serjeant as notable.
Octagonal chapel whose foundation stone was laid by John Wesley. Church was completed in 1864 in symmetric octagon shape, but was extended in 1802 to provide for more space. Wesley recommended the octagonal shape to differentiate from the established church. The building was featured in a BBC Four 2010 series Churches: How to read them, in which Dr Richard Taylor named it as one of his ten favourite churches, saying: "If buildings have an aura, this one radiated friendship."
