Description
The Primitive Methodist Chapel, located to the rear of Nos 20 and 22 Briggate in Knaresborough, was built in 1854 and is now used as coat manufacturers' premises. It is constructed of coursed squared gritstone and features a Westmorland slate roof. The building has two storeys and is arranged in a three by three bay layout with a gable entrance. The entrance has double board doors with an overlight, set within a porch that includes flanking pilasters with incised decoration and a shallow triangular corniced pediment. The windows are 16-pane sashes with plain lintels and projecting sills throughout. A projecting band at the eaves level serves as the base for a triangular gable pediment, which has coping and contains an oculus along with a weathered inscription that includes the date. The interior has not been inspected. This chapel was established by the Primitive Methodist Society, which was founded in Knaresborough in 1819, after previously meeting in a rented schoolroom.
