The Asbury United Methodist Church is a historic Methodist Church building on NH 63 in Chesterfield, New Hampshire. It has been termed the "mother church of Methodism in New Hampshire".[2]:see plaque in photos It is a 1-1/2 story wood frame structure, rectangular in shape, with a gable roof, and a tower rising from its front (northwestern) facade. The main facade is divided into three bays by four pilasters, with entrances on the two outer bays and a window in the center. An uncovered porch extends across the facade, with a latticework railing and a broad centered stair. The tower is a two-stage square structure, the lower stage with corner pilasters, and the upper (which houses the belfry) with paired pilasters matching those on the facade.[2]
