Description

The Methodist Sunday School, built in 1825, is a single-storey building constructed from hammer-dressed stone with a stone slate roof. It features seven bays and has plain stone surrounds around the door and windows, although the glazing has been altered. In the third bay above the door, there is a finely inscribed tablet that reads: 'THIS SCHOOL IS BUILT by Subscription for Children of all Denominations A. D. + MDCCCXXV'.
