Poole Methodist Chapel

Poole Methodist Chapel is a Wesleyan Methodist Chapel built in 1834, as indicated by a stone tablet over the door. The chapel is constructed of red brick in Flemish bond and features a hipped slate roof. It is a single-storey building with three bays. The entrance has a panelled door that includes bead and flush panels, with the upper section designed in a Gothic motif featuring "Y" tracery. It has a heavy moulded frame and an overlight with seven radiating daggers, also highlighted with beads on a solid board infill. Above the door is a semi-circular bullnosed label topped with a lamp fitting and an elliptical tablet inscribed with "Wesleyan Methodist Chapel" and the date.

The chapel has two-light Gothic timber windows with "Y" tracery and bullnosed brick labels above them. There is an eaves dentil course made of bullnosed bricks and lead hips on the roof. Inside, there is a pitch pine panelled reading desk flanked by three steps on each side. The reading desk features three central panels set forward and decorated with beads, along with one wide return panel and single flanking panels. The interior also includes an ovolo moulded plinth and an ogee cornice. The stairs are adorned with turned balusters and newels.

The three-panel reredos has a wide central panel with a semi-circular head and garlands, separated from the narrower side panels by reeded muntins. The narrower panels also feature garland decoration, flat tops with rose motifs, and a beaded cornice. A rosewood communion table with twisted legs is fronted by a plain communion rail that has two returns, square balusters, and end posts. There is a rosewood treadle organ with panelled ends and reeded columns, supported by round candlestick support discs. The chapel contains plain board-filled softwood benches and elliptical wall cleats that support cast iron strapwork backplates for the former light fittings at the front and rear of the chapel.
