Description
The Methodist Chapel is a Wesleyan chapel and school room, dated 1828, with a schoolroom added in the late 19th century and a 20th-century extension. It is constructed of Flemish bond red brick and features a Welsh slate gable-ended roof with brick dentil eaves. The building has a single cell layout with the entrance located under a gallery at the liturgical west (north-east) end, and the schoolroom is situated at the east (south-west) end, with a later outshut added to the end of the schoolroom.
The exterior is one storey high and has a symmetrical north-east end with a pedimental gable adorned with brick dentils. A plaque in the tympanum reads "Weslyan Chapel 1828." There are two large round-headed windows with glazing bars and margin panes, along with a central round-headed doorway that features a semicircular fanlight with radiating and concentric glazing bars and 8-panel double doors. The side elevations include three 12-pane sash windows with margin panes, and similar windows are found in the late 19th-century schoolroom to the south-west. The 20th-century brick outshut has a concrete tile lean-to roof.
Inside, the chapel has a simple design with a coved ceiling. The gallery at the west (north-east) end has a panelled front supported by thin columns. There is a panelled dado at the east (south-west) end and a moulded round-headed niche in the south-west wall. The interior also features a late 19th-century rostrum and rail.
Historically, the original Wesleyan chapel is said to have been converted from a shop on this site by Mr. Panter, the innkeeper of The Cock at No. 22 High Street, and was rebuilt in 1828.
