Description
The Wesleyan Chapel in Wisbech was built in 1803 and enlarged in 1835. It is part of the planned circus of the Castle Estate, designed by Joseph Medworth. The chapel is constructed of dark red brick with rusticated stone quoins, and has a rendered ground floor and plinth. It stands two storeys high with a gallery band and features a brick pedimented parapet topped with stone copings and three patterned iron finials.
The central gallery window consists of three lights with gauged red brick, round-headed arches divided by stone shafts, flanked by two similar windows, all of which have margin glazing bars. There are two matching entrances with stone cornices supported by console brackets, leading to double sunk-panelled doors. The ground floor has two segmental-headed windows with fixed lights.
