Moor Park Methodist Church, Victorian Methodist church in Garstang Road, Preston, England

The rectangular plan church features a semicircular portico supported by square columns, with round-headed arches and keystones at the entrance.

Architects Poulton and Woodman designed this Grade II listed building, which opened its doors in 1862 with a capacity of 900 people.

The building reflects the 19th-century Methodist expansion in Northern England through its architectural design and community-focused spatial arrangement.

The structure maintains its original features, including a horseshoe gallery supported by octagonal cast iron columns and tall windows with rounded arches.

The church transformed into Jamia-tul-Muntazar mosque in 1986, marking a shift in the religious landscape of Preston.
