Description
The Chapel is a former Methodist chapel built in 1841, with an extension added in the early 20th century. The building is constructed of rendered stone, with some areas covered in slate hanging, and features a slate roof with deep eaves that are gabled at both ends. The original 1841 structure has a rectangular plan and an entrance located at the ritual west end, which includes a gabled porch with deep eaves. The entrance features a two-leaf door with a segmental head and glazed top panels. On either side of the entrance, there are two round-headed windows with marginal glazing. Additionally, there is a small ventilation fleche located on the ridge of the roof.
