High House Chapel And Former Minister'S House

High House Chapel and former minister's house is a Wesleyan Methodist Chapel and minister's house, now functioning as a chapel and museum. It was built in 1760 and extended and raised in 1871. The building is constructed of sandstone rubble with quoins, a plinth, and ashlar dressings, topped with a Welsh slate roof featuring stone gable copings.

The chapel is two storeys high with three windows, while the house, set back to the left, has two lower storeys and two bays, with the left bay curved and a one-storey, one-bay pent porch on the left. The west front of the chapel features a four-panelled double door with a shaped fanlight under a wide two-centred arch on pilasters. Flanking narrower windows have similar surrounds, all under drip moulds. There is a continuous drip mould above the three first-floor windows, which also have a sill string. A round-headed louvred opening is located in the gable peak, with a two-centred-arched drip mould. The north and south fronts have chamfered flat stone lintels and projecting stone sills for three windows on each floor, with all windows being late 19th-century sashes.

The house has a boarded door in the centre, surrounded by plain stone, and features 20-pane sash windows along with a truncated chimney on the left. Inside, the chapel has painted plaster above a boarded and panelled dado, and a coved stippled-plaster ceiling. Slender, tapered cast iron columns, painted in marbling with stencilled decoration, support three sides of a continuous gallery with a panelled balustrade on brackets. The west gallery is located on the wall behind a high pulpit, which displays pierced stylised flower patterns in Gothic panels, and there is an organ in the west gallery. The communion rail is supported by slender turned balusters, with smaller balusters in the west side aisles. The ceiling features 12-sided ventilators with fret panels.

The house includes a 19th-century kitchen range in the front room and a plain stone chimney-piece in the rear room, which has window shutters. The L-plan stair has pierced cast iron panels supporting a moulded handrail with Gothic newels.
