Baptist chapel, latterly a Pentecostal church, now (July 1990) disused. 1824, enlarged with addition of school in 1878. Local limestone rubble with brick dressings, front is stucco, with rusticated quoins on the right (eastern) corner; hipped slate roof.

Doors recessed; late C19 folding double doors with diagonal planks to the panels, all under overlight with glazing bars. Directly above, an oculus window with radial glazing bars. Right (eastern) side wall has 4 large round-headed windows similar to those at the front except that these are 24-pane sash windows with fixed-pane heads with Gothic Y-tracery.
