Description
Wesleyan Chapel is a Methodist chapel dated 1866. It is constructed of granite rubble with granite dressings and features a grouted scantle slate roof with a pedimented gable at the south-east entrance front. The chapel has cast-iron ogee gutters.
The building has a rectangular aisle-less plan, with a semi-circular organ loft over a vestry projection at the rear, which is the ritual east end. There is a gallery on three sides.
The exterior consists of two storey elevations. The entrance front is symmetrical with three windows, featuring a triangular stuccoed pediment and round-headed openings. The wide central doorway has an original pair of six-panel doors and a traceried fanlight. Above the doorway is a window with later 19th-century coloured memorial glass. The tall flanking stair windows have traceried heads. The side walls have three windows each, with square-headed openings on the ground floor containing original 16-pane hornless sashes, and round-headed openings above with original sashes that have traceried heads.
Inside, the chapel has a complete and unaltered interior, featuring a cantilevered panelled gallery supported on paired brackets over Tuscan columns, and a rostrum with a canted front.
