Description
Amberley Methodist Church is a Methodist chapel and church room built in 1790, with alterations including the addition of the church room in 1887. The building is constructed of coursed rubble limestone and has a Welsh slate roof. It has a rectangular shape with the church room added on the northeast side.
The southeast front, added in 1887 in a Romanesque style, features three round-arched windows, all with moulded architraves, keystones, and bracketed sills, and Y-timber glazing bars with obscured glass. The central upper floor window is blocked and has an inscription panel that reads 'BUILT 1790 - LITTLEWORTH WESLEYAN CHAPEL - Renovated 1887'. There is a round-arched doorway with a hoodmould, a simple fanlight, and double panelled doors, topped by a moulded parapet cornice. The church room to the right is connected at the upper level by a segmental archway, which has 19th-century iron gates below it, and features a multi-pane casement above, along with four similar casements for the church room.
On the southwest side, the chapel's unaltered elevation displays four lancets on two levels. The rear of the building has two full-height larger lancets with timber Y-tracery and coloured glass margins. Inside, there is a gallery around three sides of the chapel.
