Methodist Chapel

The Methodist Chapel, built in 1844, is now disused. It features red brick with stone dressings and a slate roof, presenting a simple rectangular plan with a projecting western tower that serves as an entry porch. The tower consists of three stages, with an open porch on the ground floor that has a triple moulded arch and an ogee surround. Above this is a large four-light Decorated style west window, also with mouchettes and an ogee surround, and a belfry of smaller section supported by flying buttresses topped with a helm cap. There are octagonal buttresses with pinnacles on either side of the tower and the main body of the church. The side elevations are plain, featuring four lancet windows and 20th-century basement windows. An inscription above the west window reads: "Mesley..a..n 1844 Chapel." The chancel was decorated by Dr. Dallinger, who was notable in 19th-century microscopy and served as a lay preacher here for three years.
