Description
Wesley Chapel is a two-storey building dating from 1852, with its front gable elevation facing west. The roof is covered in slate, and there is a later wing to the north. The front and side elevations are rendered, with the ground storey at the front featuring rustication. The front elevation includes a simple design with a pediment, which has an oval tablet displaying the words 'Wesley Chapel 1852' in white letters on a black background. There are three round-headed windows in the gallery storey, each consisting of 16 fixed panes with interlaced glazing bars above a transom. Each window has a rendered surround and a sandstone sill. The ground storey has two similar windows, but with 20 panes. Central double doors with a transom and similar interlacing above provide access. The side walls contain two full-height windows, although one on the north side is concealed by the later school wing.
Inside, there is a large room with an entrance porch and a full-width sanctuary, which is raised by two steps. Behind the altar table, there is a small curtained recess with a moulded elliptical head. The chapel features an oak table, pine communion rails, and pews arranged in three blocks. A simple plaster cornice and decorative foliage features are present in the ceiling at the hanging points of the lights.
