Description
The Wesleyan Chapel, built in 1829, is now used as a store. It is constructed of stone rubble and features a cement-washed rag slate roof with hipped ends. The building has a rectangular plan with the entrance located at the front hipped end.
The chapel is a single-storey structure with a plank door at the entrance, which has a flat dressed stone arch and a plaque with the datestone above it. On the left side wall, there are two 2-centred dressed stone arches that frame window openings, although the margin glazing bars of the sash windows have been partly replaced. The original windows included two horned sashes with intersecting glazing bars that lit the rostrum at the east end.
Historically, Treligga became a regular preaching place in 1816. In 1829, Nathaniel Northey, along with T. P. Rosevear and others, formed a trust to erect the chapel on land acquired by G. Martyn of Helland. In 1835, a significant dispute arose between the reformers and Wesleyans, resulting in the trustees of Treligga obtaining a legal injunction that prevented the Wesleyan superintendent from entering the chapel. The trustees' copy of this injunction is kept in the offices of the Connexional Chapel Department in Manchester.
