Description
The Old Chapel, formerly known as the Wesleyan Chapel, is a redundant chapel and schoolroom built in 1840. It is constructed of ashlar stone and features a Welsh slate roof in the Tudor style. The building is single storey with five bays, where the left two bays serve as the chapel and project slightly with a cross gable.
The doorway in the third bay has a boarded door with a shouldered head and an unusual oval overlight with a Tudor-arched head, surrounded by a raised border. There are two-light mullioned windows, also in raised surrounds. Above the gable of the two left bays, there is an oval panel with a moulded surround inscribed "WESLEYAN CHAPEL." The roof is gabled with kneelers, and there is a corniced octagonal end stack over the schoolroom on the right.
