Description
Salem Wesleyan Reformed Church is an independent chapel, now serving as a Wesleyan Reformed church, built in 1825. The building is constructed from hammer-dressed stone and features a Welsh slate roof. It stands two storeys high with a layout of three by two bays. The front has a pedimented gable with a central double door that includes a deep fanlight. There are sash windows, which are smaller on the first floor, and additional sash windows on the right and left sides of the building.
Inside, the church has a three-sided gallery with a panelled front supported by slender cast-iron columns. There is a later organ set in a round-arched recess, and a rounded, panelled pulpit with steps on either side. The communion rail has decorative wrought-iron supports, and the straight-backed panelled pews face a panelled rear wall that includes side doors.
The chapel transitioned to a Wesleyan Reformed Church in 1857.
