Killas rubble brought to courses, uncoursed rubble sides and rear, with granite quoins and dressings, slate roof. Rectangular plan, 3x3 bays, gable to road. Single-storey, but with a 2-storey 3-bay facade in unorthodox style; this has a chamfered plinth, a projected centre containing a large round- headed doorway with panelled double doors and fanlight with radiating glazing bars, coupled round-headed windows over the door, a datestone above these with raised date "1839", and a Romanesque-style triple-lancet in the gable, with a sill-band; the flanking bays each have a large round-headed window, and all these windows have radiating glazing bars. Chamfered gable coping. The side walls have matching windows, and there is a lean-to extension at the rear with a doorway. Interior not inspected. History: the second of 3 successive chapels on this site, which collectively illustrate the progress of Methodism and are included for that reason. Reference: Thomas Shaw, op.cit.
