Description
Wesleyan Chapel is a chapel built in 1840, marked by the inscription 'Wesleyan Chapel 1840' in a recessed lozenge at the top of the gable. The building is constructed from random knapped flint with white brick dressings and features a roof covered in black glazed pantiles, along with a wide eaves overhang. The gable feet are decorated with acorn-like balls on stands, and there was likely another ornament at the apex.
The chapel has wooden Y-tracery windows, including two large windows and a small high window at the west end to illuminate the gallery on each side wall. There are also similar small windows flanking the entrance door, along with one above it, all featuring horizontal glazing bars and pintle hinges. The entrance door consists of four applied moulded panels and is topped by a tall, pointed fanlight with Gothic tracery. A shallow-pitched porch roof, supported by two outer timber columns and two inner quarter-round columns, has pierced and fluted bargeboards. Each side of the porch is linked by panelling that includes a single-light pointed window.
Inside, the chapel has a small gallery at the west end and wooden benches with panelled backs.
