Description
The United Methodist Free Church, built in 1851, serves as both a chapel and a schoolroom. It features irregularly coursed ashlar, rubble, freestone dressings, and concrete tiles. The gabled north elevation, which is the liturgical west side, has raised coped verges on kneelers and pilaster strips. It includes a 3-light Y-tracery window set under a drip and on a cill band. Below this window is a slender pointed porch supported by colonettes with leaf capitals, displaying the inscription "United Methodist Free Church, 1851."
An attached wall, approximately 7.5 meters high and coped, curves around to a pair of panelled piers topped with gabled caps. Between these piers are a pair of spearhead gates, with similar railings attached behind. The wall continues, curves to the west, and ends at another pier. The side elevations both feature three lancet windows with plain architraves and keystones, along with margin glazed sashes. The elevations rise to two storeys, with four arched sashes on the first floor in plain architrave. On the east side, there is a plain ground floor door, while the last bay on the west side has an inserted door.
