Description
Thorne Chapel is a building that features a range of three windows facing the road on the southwest side. The northeast elevation has two windows and a central entrance, which is accompanied by a later porch. The exterior is pebble-dashed, with smooth render used for the plinth and the window surrounds, designed to imitate stonework. The slate roof suggests that the external appearance was significantly altered during a restoration in 1947.
A small vestry was added at the eastern corner, which includes a door leading to an adjacent late 19th-century caretaker's cottage. These additions were made during or after the pastorate of Rev. Evans.
Inside, there is a single-deck pulpit located at the southeast, along with communion rails and elders' benches. Above the pulpit, there is a painted inscription in large letters on an arched and stilted band that has a late 19th-century style. The chapel contains four rows of pews on the level section of the floor and eight rows of later-style pews on raking staging that rises towards the back of the room. The ceiling and floor are boarded, and the plain glass fixed windows consist of 20 panes each, topped with semicircular fanlights. Plastered bands with raised flowerhead motifs surround the windows.
