Description

The Garsdale Street Chapel is a Primitive Methodist chapel dating from 1841. It is constructed of coursed sandstone rubble with quoins, and has a stone slate roof. The building is rectangular and runs parallel to the road. It is a simple, single-storey structure with two windows and a symmetrical design. A square-headed doorway with a monolithic lintel is centrally positioned, flanked at a higher level by rectangular 12-pane windows with tilting casement openings in the upper section. Later buildings cover both gable walls. The rear of the chapel features similar windows to the front. The interior contains five tiers of simple panelled pews rising to the east gable wall, facing a simple raised pulpit at the west end. The walls are plastered, and the ceiling is flat. It is a good example of its type, seemingly with few alterations.
