Porth Kea Methodist Church, yard, yard wall and railings to south

This is a Methodist chapel with a schoolroom and manse, dating to 1869 with extensions in 1877. The building is constructed of shale rubble walls with granite dressings, copings, sills, jambstones, arch stones and a pediment cornice. The roofs are covered with dry Delabole slate and feature gable ends and brick chimneys. The chapel has a rectangular, aisless plan with an entrance on the west end, a single-cell manse/cottage on the east end facing southeast, a sanctuary behind the chapel, and a schoolroom and lean-to extension to the east of the manse. The ground level is lower on the north side.

The chapel has a regular facade on the southeast with a two-window chapel side wall, a one-window cottage front, a one-window lean-to, and the schoolroom set back to the far right. The cottage has shallow rubble arches above window openings. A doorway sits on the left with a ledged door and overlight, with original sixteen-pane sashes to the right. A pointed brick arch frames the lean-to, schoolroom porch doorway, and schoolroom window. The southwest, two-window entrance front includes a 20th-century gable-ended porch obscuring the original central doorway. A moulded pediment tops the gable above the porch, bearing the inscription "AD 1869". Original windows with intersecting glazing within pointed-arched heads are found flanking the entrance and on the sides of the chapel.

The interior is simple, with a moulded plaster ceiling cornice and a large, carved rose featuring an acanthus border in the centre. The chapel’s fittings include numbered pews and a shaped rostrum made of pitched pine. The sanctuary adjoining the schoolroom has Gothic-style panelling to the rostrum with turned columns and a moulded cornice. The schoolroom retains an original iron grate with a marble surround. A wall monument in black and white marble commemorates Lance Corporal Wilfred Scoble, who died in the First World War.
