Description
Templar House is a Wesleyan Methodist Association chapel, now used as a warehouse, built in 1840 by James Simpson. The building is constructed of red brick with stone dressings and has a slate roof. It is located on a corner site with Templar Lane and features a six-bay front, where the end bays project slightly and have round-headed double recesses. The central four bays have first- and second-floor windows set in tall round-headed recesses, complete with moulded painted stone arches and imposts. The ground floor includes steps leading up to a large doorway in bay two, which has a fanlight, pilasters, and an entablature with a plain cornice. Doorway bay five has been altered to a window, and the steps are missing. Many windows are blocked. At the rear, there is a central brick projection flanked by three tiers of blocked windows. The left and right returns also have three tiers of blocked windows, likely a modification made during the conversion of the chapel, as the original design probably featured two-tier fenestration. The interior has not been inspected.
