Description
The Old Chapel is a former Wesleyan Methodist chapel, built in 1907, as indicated by the datestone above the front door. It is constructed from coursed squared and dressed limestone, featuring dressed stone quoins and a stone slate roof. The building has a compact, irregular plan and includes a square turret at the front right, standing at 1½ storeys, while the turret rises to 2 storeys.
The facade has a gable that projects forward to the left, which is illuminated by two 3-light stone-mullioned casements with transoms and stopped hoods. A round-headed window with a moulded surround and stopped hood is situated in the gable. The turret is set back to the right and features a plank door with a stopped hood above, which is elevated over the datestone. Above the door, there is a double-chamfered single-light casement with a stopped hood, and similar windows can be found in the right-hand wall. To the right, there is a two-light double-chamfered stone-mullioned casement with a stopped hood. The turret has a pyramidal roof that flares out at the base, topped with a finial at the apex, and there are two circular 'pepper-pot' vents on the roof axes. The gable-end coping is roll-moulded, and there are moulded kneelers on the forward-facing gable front. The interior has not been inspected. Overall, it presents a picturesque composition in a vernacular style.
