Description

The Wesleyan Methodist Chapel, built in 1843, is constructed from local stone that is cut and squared, topped with a half-hipped Welsh slate roof that has a pronounced overhang on the east gable and features a central metal ventilator on the ridge. The chapel is two storeys high, with part of it being an undercroft, and it has three bays. The front elevation displays a plain gable with a pointed archway that contains double doors. Above the doors, there is a stone plaque inscribed with "Wesleyan Chapel 1843" and a small trefoil vent above this.

On the south elevation, there are 12-pane sash windows and a door located at the east end, set into a plinth. Above the door, three pointed arched windows with timber Y-traceried frames and leaded glass are present. A 20th-century extension has been added to the plinth level at the west end.

The front boundary wall is primarily made of squared local stone with shaped coping and features small stone piers topped with pyramidal caps. In the center, there are wrought iron railings with thick square bars, adorned with twist-tongue tops and urn finials on the braced standards. The central double gates match the railings and are topped with a simple overthrow designed to hold a lamp. There is also a matching gate located in the southeast corner. Although the interior of the chapel was not seen, a gallery is evident at the east end above the entrance.
