Description
The building is a Wesleyan Methodist chapel, currently used as a furniture shop, dating from 1888. It was designed by William Eade of Ipswich and built by Smythe of Aldelsburgh. The chapel is constructed of gault brick with limestone dressings and features a slate roof with stone-capped gable ends.
The structure has a rectangular auditorium with short transepts and a vestry at the east end, along with porches at the west corners. It is designed in the Gothic style and is a single storey. The west gable end faces the road and includes a large four-light plate tracery window in a rose pattern, with a small quatrefoil light above, both featuring hood moulds. A stone cross is located at the apex of the gable. On either side of the main entrance, there are small gabled porches with double-chamfered pointed arch doorways, also with hood moulds, and topped with stone lantern pinnacles. The north and south side elevations have two paired cusped lancets and gabled transepts that contain two-light plate tracery windows. A hipped slate roof covers a low square vestry at the east end.
Inside, the original roof structure remains, featuring trusses with arch braces and cusped spandrels supported by carved stone corbels. There is a hood mould at the east end over a pointed arch recess, and a plank dado. Internal porches are present at the west end corners. All seating and the rostrum have been removed, and the windows contain coloured diamond-shaped leaded panes.
