Primitive Methodist Chapel and Railings

This is a former Primitive Methodist chapel, built in 1866 and now used as a practice room for the Chedworth Silver Band. It is located on Cheap Street, Chedworth. The chapel is constructed of coursed squared and dressed limestone with dressed stone quoins, and has a slate roof. The rectangular building is single-storey and symmetrical, with the gable end facing the road. The front facade has two tall, fixed 12-pane windows within round-headed surrounds, each with radiating glazing bars at the top. A central double door, accessed by four stone steps, is set within a 19th-century gabled timber porch featuring decorative barge boarding and double cast iron gates. Fanlights with radiating glazing bars are present at the front and sides of the porch. To the right and left returns are tall 12-pane sash windows with horns. The interior has not been inspected. A cast iron railing, set on a low drystone wall, runs across the front of the chapel, featuring spear-headed uprights and stanchions with pointed finials. A boot scraper is situated within the wall to the right of the entrance. The interior has not been inspected.
