Description
The chapel is a nearly-square building parallel to the street. Built of local rubble stonework, rendered. The front elevation is dry-pebble-dashed with a rendered plinth. Slate roof. The door is central, with one window each side, all with round heads, white-painted dressings, emphasised keystones and emphasised stones just above impost level. Double doors with vertical boarding and a fanlight above with deep section glazing bars. Windows of small panes with margin lights in coloured glass, amber, blue or red.
Large oblong central tablet above the door, with name and dates in an oval. Plain gabled end walls and rear, rendered and unpainted. The rear windows are similar to those at the front, but without the surround of dressed stones. The school, attached at the right, is also parallel to the street. Door and two windows. The door is vertically boarded and the windows glazed with margin-light sashes. The house at the right of the group is of one storey, with two windows and a central door to the front. It is not quite on the same building line as the other two structures. White-painted low stone piers at front of the chapel with a central iron gate and two flanking lengths of iron railings on a low wall, with similar piers at the extremities. Railings of a slightly different pattern at front of the schoolroom on a low wall.
The chapel is entered by a small internal porch, which is framed and glazed, with chamfers to the frame, frosted glass and coloured margin lights. The pulpit is at the N gable end, with an arched-headed wall recess behind it. There are twin stairs. Small table. In the front half of the room, N of the entrance, are two blocks of pews, and in the rear half, three ramped blocks with a contemporary American pedal-organ at the centre. There are also two more recent organs at the front of the room.
The schoolroom has a plain interior. The cottage is planned with a central entrance and lobby between two rooms. A small bedroom and a scullery in a rear lean-to. The rooms have bead-jointed boarded doors and ledges. Both front rooms are separated from the central lobby by a boarded partition.
