Former Wesleyan Chapel

The former Wesleyan Chapel, dated 1817, is now used as an annexe to No. 26. It was rebuilt or extensively repaired after a fire in 1866 and closed in 1976. The building is constructed of granite rubble, faced in stucco with incised lining to resemble ashlar, and has an asbestos slate roof with gabled ends and fairly deep eaves. The corners of the eaves are supported by small shaped wooden brackets.

The chapel has a rectangular auditorium that runs parallel to the road on an east-west axis, with a gallery over the entrance and a passageway at the east end. Access to the chapel is through the passageway, which also leads to a cottage and a former Sunday School at the rear. The main front, facing Cross Street, features four tall round-headed windows with stone sills, two top-opening lights, and glazing bars with margin panes containing stained glass. Near the center under the eaves is a plaque engraved "Wesleyan Methodist Chapel 1817" in upper case with serifs and Arabic numerals.

The left round-headed entrance to the passageway has ornate wrought iron gates at the front and glazed and panelled double doors at the rear with margin panes. Inside, the passage leads to glazed double doors that open into the chapel. The west end of the chapel, which is the liturgical east, has a large pointed arch recess with nook shafts. The timber gallery features a gothick panelled front. Most of the furnishings and seating have been removed. The low-pitched roof, likely dating from around 1866, has principal rafters with iron tie rods instead of collars. This non-conformist chapel is notable for its design that effectively utilizes a constrained site, with the gallery positioned over the passageway, and its prominent front with large arched windows is a significant feature in Cross Street.
