Description

Crich Wesleyan Chapel is a non-conformist chapel built in 1765. It is constructed from regularly coursed squared gritstone with quoins and features a hipped slate roof. The building is two storeys high and has two bays, with semi-circular headed side windows that include voussoirs, jambs, and gothic intersecting glazing. The ground floor windows are from the 20th century and sit beneath plain lintels. The front of the chapel has two first floor semi-circular headed windows with gothic glazing, and a central ground floor window that has a massive lintel and stone jambs, flanked by two doorways with quoined surrounds, massive lintels, and 6-panel doors.

There are attached low boundary walls topped with plain spear-headed railings and matching gates set between plain stone piers. To the left side, there is a single storey extension with a plain slated roof. The interior, which includes an unaltered gallery and box pews, has not been inspected. This chapel is believed to be one of the earliest in the county and has been in continuous use for the longest time.
