Description

The former Wesleyan Chapel on Church Street was built in 1850 and enlarged between 1861 and 1863. It is now used as an antiques showroom. The chapel is constructed from local lias stone that has been cut and squared, with ham stone dressings and a Welsh slate roof featuring a stepped coped gable at the street front. The building is a single storey with a three-bay gabled facade. The central doorway is chamfered and pointed-arch, featuring part-glazed doors and a foliage-stop label above. On either side of the doorway are 16-pane display windows that have been added. Above the doorway is a triple lancet window with a matching label, a plaque indicating the building dates of 1850 and 1863, and a circular vent in the gable crown. Each side elevation has two Y-traceried two-light windows without labels. The rear of the building has been extended to include a two-bay unit with two single-lancet windows and a plain pointed-arched door in between. The interior now features an intermediate floor, but the building has not been significantly altered. The chapel is believed to have closed in the later 1970s.
