Description
Burnett's Hill Calvinistic Methodist Chapel is a simple chapel with a plain exterior, lacking any name or ornamentation, situated parallel to the road. The building measures approximately 13 meters long and 7 meters wide, featuring a later vestry or schoolroom at the eastern end and a hip-roofed porch at the western end, which is open on the northern side. Constructed from local uncoursed hammer-dressed sandstone, the chapel is flush pointed and limewashed, topped with a slate roof that has a grey tile ridge.
The chapel has four main windows, two on each side, which are 12-pane sash windows without horns, dating from an early to mid 19th century alteration. The eastern gable includes a high-level fixed light with 8 panes situated above the vestry roof. The vestry itself features a four-pane sash window and a boarded door. The main entrance on the western gable, also from the same period of alteration, consists of double doors, each with two bolection moulded panels and one flush panel.
During a visit in 1996, the chapel was noted to be heavily overgrown with ivy. Inside, there is an original dais raised above a flight of four steps, designed for the pulpit and side benches. The pulpit is rectangular, adorned with planted mouldings on the front and side panels, and includes an overhanging book-rest. The benches have plain panelled backs. A handrail at the front of the dais is supported by square balusters and framed into the top newels of the central staircase, which features returned nosings with two balusters each. The steps also have shaped handrails, housed into the top newel, with coils over turned bottom newels.
The pews, which are of a later date, are arranged in two blocks with a central passage, and the floor slopes about 0.4 meters from west to east. The pew design is simple, featuring a shaped moulding at the top of the pew-ends, with a timber floor and dado.
