Description

This is a Methodist chapel dating to 1797. A manse, located to the north, was rebuilt around 1900. The chapel is constructed of painted Flemish bond brick with a pantile mansard roof and a coped west gable.

The chapel's plan is rectangular, consisting of a single cell with an entrance at the west end that leads to a gallery. The manse has been converted to church rooms and a kitchen. The south side of the chapel features three round-headed windows with later 16-pane sashes fitted with top lights. A smaller round-headed window is present in the east gable. The west gable has a small round-headed window, and below is a doorway with plain plank double doors. The manse, facing the road, has a gable-ended pantile roof, two stories, blocked upper windows, 20th-century ground floor windows, and a brick gabled porch at the centre with a side entrance door.

Inside the chapel, the auditorium features a plastered barrel-vaulted ceiling and a gallery at the west end supported by slender iron columns and featuring a panelled front. The tiered seating along the side walls has been removed, and the rostrum is no longer present. A panelled internal porch is located under the gallery, and a later 19th-century panelled screen is positioned below the gallery front.
