Methodist Chapel, Manse And Adjoining Wall And Iron Railings

The Methodist chapel, manse, adjoining wall, gate piers, and iron railings were built in 1869, as indicated by the datestone above the door. The structures are made of slatestone rubble with granite dressings and feature Delabole slate gable roofs, with a brick axial chimney on the manse. Designed in the Gothic style, the chapel has a rectangular plan with an apsidal ritual east end and a ramp that connects the chapel to the first-floor doorway of the manse.

The west entrance of the chapel features a central pointed arched granite doorway within a porch that has original double doors. On either side of the doorway are trefoil-headed single light lancet windows, with a small coped gable above the porch and flat roofs over the windows. The chapel is supported by diagonal corner buttresses with granite quoins and weatherings, and it includes a central granite rose window in the gable. There are three windows on each side of the chapel.

The manse is located at the ritual east end, positioned at right angles to the side road and connected to the chapel by a ramp leading to the first-floor rear. It is two storeys high and has four windows. The first floor features three cusped lancets in the schoolroom section on the left, with a door that has a cambered brick arch off-centre and a manse window to the right. The ground floor includes a wide carriage door on the left and the entrance to the manse on the far right, which is sheltered by a small lean-to porch.

Inside the chapel, there are original pine pews with shaped ends, a trefoil arcaded altar rail with trefoils in the spandrels, and an arch-braced roof with pierced spandrels. The courtyard surrounding the chapel is enclosed by a coped slatestone rubble wall. The west side of the wall features four square granite posts with shaped pyramidal caps, and there are iron gates set between the middle posts, flanked by iron railings over a low granite coped wall.
