Masters Church

Masters Church is a Congregationalist Chapel built in 1851 by Henry Masters of Bristol. It is constructed from random rubble of pennant stone with Bath stone dressings and features a Welsh slate roof. The chapel is a large, aisled structure with a polygonal east end and flanking towers at the west end.

The exterior includes a west end arched door made of diagonally set planks, positioned between stone piers and blind lancet windows. Above this, there is a moulded string course and three stepped lancet windows adorned with pierced trefoil decoration. The two-stage towers on either side are buttressed and contain blocked openings within canopies at ground level, with lancet windows at the upper level beneath corbel tables. The west tower is topped with an open octagonal spire featuring a canopied arcade, while the east tower's spire has been removed. Angled iron plates are present in the side corners of the towers at plinth level. The five-bay side elevations have projecting aisles, with blocked lancet windows at ground level and paired lancet openings at clerestory height. The east end features a projecting polygonal apse with two orders of lancet openings and a projecting chimney stack on the northeast face.

Inside, the nave and aisles consist of five bays with pointed arched arcades supported by octagonal piers. The roof is an open timber king-post design. The polygonal apse once housed an organ and choir, and there is a gallery at the west end. At the time of inspection, the floorboards, pews, and fittings had been removed.

This chapel was built to accommodate the growing congregation attending Whitfield's Tabernacle and was closed for worship in 1983. It holds group value with the Grade I-listed Whitfield Tabernacle and is an important part of a historically significant Methodist enclave.
