Description
This is a former Wesleyan chapel and associated Sunday school, dating to 1823 with a Sunday school added in 1883, and further additions made in the early 20th century. Built of coursed squared stone with ashlar dressings and slate roofs, it is now used as a warehouse. The chapel is constructed in a Gothic style.
The exterior features a plinth, string courses, sill bands, and a crenellated parapet. Octagonal corner piers rise above the parapet, topped with flat caps. The main structure has two storeys and five bays by six windows. The windows are traceried, three-light pointed arch windows with hood moulds. A west-facing tower porch is flanked by lobbies. The tower porch has octagonal corner piers and a latticework band between floors. The west end has a central, chamfered pointed doorway with a hood mould and a round window above. Showrooms flank the main body, incorporating octagonal corner piers and a parapet. Large, single-pane windows with stone mullions are present on the front. Each return side has a similar window with toplights. The north-west two lower windows are obscured by a late 19th-century addition. Late 19th-century additions have steeply pitched slate roofs with coped gables. A single-storey north-east addition features a four-window range.
The Sunday school forms an L-shaped extension. The left gable has two two-light pointed arch windows with hood moulds, a round window above, and two single-light windows with transoms. A blank window is positioned to their right. The west gable features a round window with a hood mould. A two-storey south-east addition has three windows, a central doorway with an overlight and hood mould, flanked by windows. The west gable has two large two-light pointed arch windows with hood moulds, and a canted bay window with a hipped roof and four shouldered lancets below.
The rear elevation includes a central gable with two windows on each floor. A two-storey block is present to the left, alongside a projecting gable with two windows. To the right is a single bay range with a 20th-century loading door and two windows.
