Description

The Methodist Church, originally listed as the Methodist Chapel, was built in 1833 with extensions added around 1900. It features red brick in Flemish bond and has hipped and pyramid slate roofs. The building has a rectangular shape with vestry rooms set back at the west corner. It is two storeys high and has a layout of 1:3 bays. The chapel side has full height round-headed windows with four panes by three panes, while the vestry rooms have a round-headed window with three panes by three panes on the first floor and a square-headed window with two panes by three panes below. A rectangular marble plaque is set between the windows.

The entrance is located to the right, featuring a door with a fanlight in the re-entrant angle of the chapel. This door has double doors topped with semi-circular lattice work, and both doorways are covered by a curved lead canopy with a decorative valence, supported by a late 20th-century section of brick wall on the vestry side. Above the chapel entrance is a ham stone tablet inscribed with "Wesleyan Chapel 1833," and another marble tablet commemorates Ann Mitchell Morris, who died in 1900.

In front of the church, there are cast iron railings set in a dwarf wall with decorative heads, extending northeast for about 20 meters and terminating in a square red brick pier, which borders the graveyard along the road.
