Description

The Methodist Chapel in Wadshelf is a Nonconformist chapel dated 1834. It is constructed from coursed squared Coal Measures Sandstone with ashlar dressings, featuring plain and coped gables, and a Welsh slate roof. The north elevation showcases a gable wall adorned with obelisk finials. At the center of the gable is an advanced porch, topped with a coped gable above a semicircular headed window that includes margin glazing, glazing bars, and radiating glazing bars at the top. To the west of the porch, there is a gateway with low square piers leading to a side doorway with a six-panel door, and a single-bay monoclinal-roofed lean-to with a coped wall-head and a blocked window. To the east, a low monopitch roof extends northward from below a 4 x 4 glazing bar sash set within an ashlar surround. The east elevation features 4 x 4 glazing bar sashes in flush ashlar surrounds. A rectangular plaque on the north gable is inscribed with 'Wesleyan Chapel. 1834'.
