Description

The Methodist Sunday School, built in 1892, is constructed of granite rubble with granite dressings. It features a bitumen-coated and grouted scantle slate roof with gable ends and a coped gable end facing the road. The building has a rectangular plan with a small wing at the rear's center and a porch on the right side towards the front. There is a basement under the front section that faces the road.

This single-storey structure has tall, unaltered elevations and a symmetrical three-bay road front. The central bay is topped with a pedimented gable that projects forward. The exterior includes a plinth with memorial stones, rusticated granite quoins, granite strings, and original round-headed windows with marginal panes, some of which contain colored glass. The central bay features three stepped lights beneath a round hood mould, while the flanking bays have single-light windows. The side walls are adorned with original two-light windows with round-headed lights. The gable-ended porch contains an original pair of doors and a two-pane fanlight. The interior has not been inspected.
