Description

Wesley Chapel is a Wesleyan chapel and adjoining schoolroom, built in 1822 and slightly remodeled around the late 19th century. The building features painted rubble walls with brick arches over the openings and a scantle slate hipped roof, along with cast-iron ogee-section gutters.

The chapel has a rectangular plan without aisles and includes a gallery on three sides, with a rostrum located at the north-west (ritual east) end and a schoolroom beyond. The exterior consists of two storeys, with original openings. The symmetrical south-east front has two windows and a wide central doorway topped by a segmental arch, while the other openings are round-headed and fitted with late 19th-century horned sashes that include glazing bars.

Inside, there is an early 19th-century gallery, which is reported to have come from a chapel in Truro, and a bow fronted rostrum.
