Description

A small, simple chapel of brick under a slate roof, entered via the gable wall. There are central paired panelled doors within a gabled porch added in 2012. It is flanked by 2 paired segmentally headed lights with interlaced tracery and some coloured glass, above the doorway. Similar tracery is in the 2 similar windows of each side elevation, with panelled external shutters and blue brick sills of the later C19. A date-stone between the windows of the front wall is inscribed 'Wesley's Methodist Chapel 1798' (the 8 is painted over the original number, 7). There are 2 similar windows in right hand gable return.

The interior is simple with plastered walls above a boarded wainscot and a plain flat modern ceiling slightly lower than the original and lower than the tops of the gallery windows. Central aisle between pews with doors to either side, set on a suspended floor probably of 1870. A bench has been added to the front of each set of pews. Similar pews are set at R angles either side of the pulpit, behind a plain communion rail. The polygonal pulpit has fluted panels and has ball finials crowning principal posts. The pews themselves are difficult to date, but whether or not they survive from the original building, they do retain a simple Georgian character. The pulpit and communion rail may date from 1870. The gallery has a plain panelled front carried on cast iron posts, and pews with fielded panels to the doors.
