Description

The former Harden Wesleyan Reform Chapel, dated 1853, is a chapel built from hammer-dressed stone with a Welsh blue-slate roof. It stands two storeys tall and features a pedimented gable front with a symmetrical three-bay facade. The building has round-headed voussoired windows on both floors, with the central windows adorned with coloured margin glazing. On either side of the central window are doorways flanked by pilasters, topped with an entablature and cornice, and featuring margin glazed overlights above six-panelled doors. An eaves band creates a triangular pediment that displays a plaque with the date and name in good lettering.
