Description
The Wesleyan Methodist Chapel, built in 1835, is a Methodist chapel located in Mary Tavy. It features a rubble exterior that is painted, topped with a slate roof, and has a rectangular plan. The entrance to the auditorium is located under the gallery, with the rostrum positioned at the opposite end. The front gable end includes a gabled porch with a round-headed opening for double doors, which have decorative strap hinges. On either side of the porch, there are round-headed sash windows with 12 panes in the lower section and margin glazing. Above the porch, there is a datestone inscribed with "Wesleyan Methodist Chapel 1835."
On the left side of the chapel, there are two smaller windows and a door, while the right side has two similar windows. The rear of the building features two similar windows, an external stack, and a small rubble lean-to on the left. The interior was not accessible during the survey in September 1985, but the upper gallery with turned balusters was visible. For further details, additional sources are available.
