Description
The Methodist Chapel on New Wynd in Montrose was built in 1874. It is a single-storey, rectangular-plan church designed in a plain Gothic style, featuring a gable front and an attached single-storey hall. The exterior is constructed from coursed, quarry-faced sandstone with ashlar dressings. Notable architectural details include a battered base course, moulded margins, battered cills, and hoodmoulds over the entrance.
The south elevation is symmetrical, with a central bay that is slightly advanced and flanked by clasping buttresses. A three-step stone flight leads up to a shallow gabled porch, which contains a pointed arch doorway with two leaf chevron boarded doors. Above the doorway is a decorative carved timber gablehead, with mask corbels acting as labelstops for the hoodmould. The porch is flanked by buttresses and a frieze decorated with discs. Above the porch, there are three windows, with the central window raised. The gablehead features a circular opening with a trefoil. The flanking bays have an aisle window at ground level and a circular window with a quatrefoil above, with buttressed corners.
The east elevation consists of five bays divided by buttresses. The west elevation has three windows to the right and the hall to the left. The north elevation shows the gable end of the hall, with a central window and a small circular window in the gablehead.
The hall's east elevation features five bays, with three shallow pointed arch windows on the right and a doorway on the left that has a chevron boarded door and a plain fanlight. To the left is a stone-mullioned bipartite window. The north elevation has an M-gable with a circular window to the right that also features a quatrefoil.
The chapel includes leaded lights and stained glass windows. The hall has four-pane timber sash and case windows. The roofs are pitched with grey slate, and there are stone skews, gablet skewputts, and gablets above the clasping buttresses. Two ashlar gablehead stacks are located on the north side, along with cast-iron downpipes and decorative rainwater heads. The interior was not seen in 1998.
