Church on Rise Park
Bestwood, Nottinghamshire
Originally a Methodist Church, planned to cater to the new Park Rise estate, built in the early 1960s.
Messrs Dennett and Ingle, Builders, of Nottingham, gained the contract to erect the entire building, with the exception of the fittings, at a cost of £1,250. Dennett and Ingle of Thornton Street was founded in the late 1850s by Charles Colton Dennett who was the inventor and patentee of Dennett Fire Proof Floors, one of the first systems of concrete fire proof projects to be used in modern buildings.
The building is of solid brickwork with decorative banding to the eaves and verges. The interior is attractive with several interesting features. It was reordered in 2009 to bring it up to modern standards.
