The Cowley Road Methodist Church on the corner of Jeune Street is an Arts and Crafts stone Gothic building originally known as Wesley Hall. The ''Oxford Chronicle'' for 23 October 1903 (p. 7, col. f) reports:

The Wesleyan church and schools are in course of erection in Cowley Road from designs of Mr. Stephen Salter, F.R.I.B.A., the builders being Messrs. Kingerlee and Sons, of Oxford. The church is built to seat 700, and the schools 500. The total cost will be nearly £9,000. The church is in Handborough stone with Bath stone tracings. The architect has striven to avoid the usual “stock pattern” buildings so much in vogue for this class of work.

The church was opened in 1904.
