Description
The Wesleyan Chapel, now a United Reformed church, was built in 1834. It is constructed of thin, coursed rubble with large quoins, all whitewashed, with a graduated blue slate roof and two courses of stone slate at the eaves. The building is rectangular and aligned east-west. The south front features two round-headed windows with six panes of glass, each having Y-tracery in the head. A datestone is set between the windows, lettered "WESLEYAN / 1834 / CHAPEL." The rear elevation has similar windows. The west gable wall has a tall round-headed opening housing a square-headed doorway with a slab lintel, and a round-headed window immediately above the doorway, featuring glazing bars, and a stone slate drip-band.
Inside, there is an internal porch, a pitch-pine dado and pulpit (benches have been removed), a moulded plaster cornice, and a ceiling with a moulded plaster roundel, from which four moulded plaster diamond shapes support globular electric lamps hanging on chains. The building forms a group with High Laning Farmhouse to the south.
