Description

Wesleyan Chapel is a non-conformist chapel dated 1841. It is constructed of coursed stone with block dressing and features a blue machine tile roof, verge parapets, and a stone end stack. The building is small and single-storey, with a two-window front and a central entrance. The windows are glazing bar sashes with raised block surrounds and even block quoins. The round-arched entrance is block dressed with raised imposts and a keystone. Above the entrance is a datestone, and to the right end, there is a stone inset sundial inscribed with "A LIFE ON FLIGHT'S SOON OUT OF SIGHT." The end stack has another datestone from 1841, likely indicating the year the stack was built.
