Description
Camelford Methodist Church is a Methodist chapel built in 1837, with an interior remodelled in the 1980s. It is constructed from stone rubble with granite dressings and features a slate roof with hipped ends and a gable end at the front, positioned to the right of the centre. The chapel has a deep rectangular plan, with the original structure likely consisting of a main range near the centre that is slightly set forward and has a gable end facing the road. It was probably extended to the right with a small room over an alleyway and to the left to accommodate a Sunday School.
The front elevation showcases the gable end of a possible earlier range to the right of the centre. A stone rubble ramp with iron railings leads up to the entrance in the gable end, which features 20th-century plank double doors set in a partly blocked two-centred arched opening. There are wrought-iron grates on the basement windows to the right and left. Above the entrance, two tall two-light lancet windows with intersecting glazing bars are present, along with a niche in the gable end. To the left, there is a blocked door and two two-light rectangular openings, accompanied by a tall rectangular window and a two-light lancet window above. To the right, a segmental rusticated granite arch leads to the alley, with a two-light window above it.
When it opened in 1837, the chapel was described by the West Briton as "a neat building and an ornament to the town."
