Description
The former Wesleyan Methodist Chapel, built in 1826, is constructed of coursed squared limestone with a slate roof. It has a single storey and features a gabled street elevation with a central six-panelled door set beneath a flat stone arch. Above the entrance, there is a 20th-century small-pane window in the original opening, which has splayed voussoirs and a flat arch with a projecting sill. Below the sill, a raised plaque is inscribed with "Wesleyan / Methodist Chapel / 1826". The chapel has shaped kneelers and gable copings, while the south gable wall is blind. Each side elevation contains two 16-pane sash windows with flat arches and sills similar to the front. The front retaining wall is made of coursed limestone with triangular coping and stands approximately 1.2 meters high, sloping down to a gateway. A memorial to Reverend F Wilson, a missionary to Tonga, was relocated to the west wall of St Helen's Church when the chapel closed.
