Methodist Chapel

The Methodist Chapel, built in 1840, features a grey brick front in Flemish bond with stucco details and yellow brick sides, topped by a slate roof. This single-storey chapel has a rectangular plan and is designed in a classical style with two symmetrical bays. The façade is enhanced by angle pilasters that rise to shaped kneelers, and the bays are defined by pilasters with Greek ionic capitals that support a pedimented gable. The entrance is located in the second bay and consists of a flight of three stone steps leading to a recessed two-leaf panelled door set in a round-headed rubbed brick surround. The left bay has a similar opening with a stone cill and a dummy door. Above, there are two round-headed casements featuring projecting cills, later 19th-century margin lights, and coloured glass. The pediment displays central plaques inscribed with "WESLEYAN CHAPEL, 1840," framed by a basket-arched stucco band. The stone-coped gable is adorned with shaped kneelers. The left return of the building includes a lower rendered section with two round-headed windows similar to those at the front. The rear has two sash windows with margin lights and two round-headed casements above, complete with glazing bars. Inside, there is an internal wooden porch with a moulded cornice, a sanctuary rail supported by foliate cast-iron brackets, and a boldly-moulded plaster ceiling cornice with an ornate central ceiling rose surrounded by four smaller perforated roses that serve as ventilators.
