Mount Sion Methodist Church And House Attached

Mount Sion Methodist Church and the attached house were built in 1773, with the chapel being rebuilt in 1815 and the interior refitted around 1870. The building is made of dressed stone with ashlar dressings and features stone slate roofs with coped gables and moulded kneelers. It has two stone stacks and a metal ventilator.

The chapel's main south front includes two round arched windows with margin light glazing, flanked by single round arched doorways that have impost blocks and keystones, each with a plank door and partly boarded fanlight. A central vesica-shaped plaque reads "This chapel was rebuilt in the year 1815." Above this, there is a reset sundial dated 1773, inscribed "Mount Sion," and four additional round arched windows with margin light glazing.

On the east elevation, there are two round arched windows with margin light glazing on each floor, above a central semi-circular window with a keystone and similar glazing. The north elevation features a large semi-circular apse flanked by single flat-headed windows with margin light glazing on each floor. The apse has a small window on the ground floor and two round-headed windows with margin light glazing and keystones above.

Inside, the chapel boasts high-quality Victorian fittings, including galleries on three sides supported by cast iron columns. There is an elaborate central reading desk with a right staircase featuring a cast iron balustrade. Behind the choir gallery, there is an organ in the semi-circular apse, which is topped with the date 1773.

The minister's house is located to the west and is two stories high, with a rendered side and rear. It features quoins, a south front with a projecting gabled porch to the left, and a single five-light ashlar mullion window above another similar five-light window. The west gable elevation has a small fixed light and an upper two-light casement. The north front includes a doorway to the right with an ashlar surround and a five-light mullion window to the left, above which are a three-light and a two-light mullion window.
