Description
The former chapel and adjoining buildings, located on Meeting House Lane in Wolsingham, were built in 1776 for the Wolsingham Methodist Society. Originally serving as stables and a Methodist chapel, they later became undertaker's premises and are now outbuildings to Whitfield House and a joinery workshop. The structure is made of coursed sandstone rubble with ashlar quoins and dressings, featuring roofs of pantiles with stone flags at the eaves in some areas.
The building is two storeys high and consists of six bays that step back. The left section has a boarded vehicle door beneath a loft door, topped with a pantiled and flagged roof. The adjoining joinery shop, which was formerly the chapel, includes a sliding vehicle door, an external saddle rack, and harness hooks, along with a blocked door that has a stone surround. Above, there are flat stone lintels and sills to two-light horizontal sliding sashes.
The right section features two doors, with the left door blocked and a window inserted. This section also has flat stone surrounds, with one pecked lintel and one wedge lintel for the sliding sashes on the right and loft openings above. The quoins on this part repeat those from the previous narrower front. Notably, John Wesley preached in this chapel.
