Former Cubert Methodist Chapel

The Former Cubert Methodist Chapel is a Wesleyan Methodist chapel that opened in 1848 and closed in 2011. The attached former Sunday school, added in 1894 and extended in the 1930s, is not included in this listing.

The chapel features slatestone rubble walls with granite dressings and a slate roof with ridge tiles. The gable ends have raised coped verges. It is a rectangular building oriented on a north-south axis with a single auditorium plan.

The exterior of the chapel is a three-bay, single-storey structure with a gable roof. At the center of the front elevation, there is a gabled wooden porch supported by granite piers, topped with a slate roof featuring crested ridge tiles (the porch roof was temporarily removed in 2016). The main entrance consists of a 20th-century double door, above which is a blind round granite arch. A date stone above the entrance bears the inscription ‘WESLEYAN CHAPEL AD 1848’ in raised upper case lettering, and there is a recessed circular stone at the apex of the gable. On either side of the entrance, there are two-light 19th-century margin-glazed casements with top lights and rounded granite arches with keystones. The rear of the building has two blocked openings with granite lintels and keystones. The west elevation features three 19th-century two-light margin-glazed casements with top lights and flat granite arches with keystones, while the east elevation has two similar openings.

Inside, the chapel retains a rostrum at the north end and a timber gallery at the south end. The gallery is supported by cast-iron columns, which may be replacements, as the base of a timber column stands next to the west end column. The auditorium has a sealed timber-plank ceiling, and the roof structure is a king-post frame.
