Wesleyan Chapel, Retaining Wall, Railings And Gate

The Wesleyan Chapel, built in 1899 by Foster and Wood of Bristol, is a notable structure located on Winscombe Hill Road in Sandford. It features snecked squared rubble with freestone dressings and is topped with plain and scalloped clay tiles. The chapel is designed in the Perpendicular style and includes a south porch, nave, chancel aligned from south to north, and a vestry in a gable cross wing to the west.

The low south porch has a lean-to roof and is adorned with two three-light, cusped windows and a moulded pointed arch. A corner buttress and a similar arch to the west leave the south-west corner open. The south gable showcases a five-light square-headed window beneath an ogee dripmould. The nave contains two three-light windows separated by buttresses. The vestry, located in the cross gable, stands on a battered plinth and features full-height buttresses and a two-light window under a dripmould. The building is marked by prominent asymmetrical stacks and a two-light window in the north gable.

Inside, the chapel retains original fittings, including a boarded roof with ribs on corbels and a panelled sanctuary beyond a vestigial chancel arch. Surrounding the chapel is a coursed rubble battered retaining wall topped with low cast iron railings, along with a cast iron gate and railings.
