City Mosque Preston (formerly known as North Road Pentecostal Church ) is in North Road, Preston , Lancashire , England, and is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building .[ 1]
The church was built in 1838 as a Wesleyan Methodist Church ,[ 1] and was partly rebuilt in 1885–86 by James Hibbert .[ 2] It was later converted into a Pentecostal church.[ 1] Since 2016 it is being used as a Mosque.
The church is built in brick (red on the front and brown on the sides) with sandstone dressings and a slate roof. It has a rectangular plan with its entrance on the east side, a small addition to the rear, and is in two storeys with a basement. At the entrance front is a projecting single-storey porch, wider than the body of the church, in five bays . It stands on a stone plinth , is symmetrical, and contains three round-headed doorways approached by steps, all with moulded architraves and fanlights . The central doorway has two pairs of Tuscan columns, and the outer doorways are flanked by pilasters . Between the doorways are round-headed windows with architraves, and there are similar but larger windows on the sides of the porch. Above the doorways is a continuous frieze and cornice . Above the outer windows and on the sides of the porch is a balustrade . The upper storey contains five windows with round moulded heads, and a band of square panels above them. At the top is a pediment containing a stone inscribed with the date of original building. Along the sides of the church are five bays with two tiers of round headed windows. Inside the church is a horseshoe-shaped gallery carried on slim cast iron columns with Ionic capitals . At the west end is a large arch with fluted pilasters.[ 1]
