Description
The chapel stands back from the road, with a straight and slightly rising path from the gates to the door. The front gable and the left elevation are rendered, but the right elevation and the rear elevation are in plain stone. The roof is slated with a plain bargeboard and a finial to the front.
The front elevation has central double doors with flanking tall round-headed windows. There is a name tablet over the door with the dates of construction, rebuilding and restoration. At the apex of the front gable there is a round ventilator with surrounding moulding. Decorative rusticated quoins are worked in the render and there are decorative surrounds to the door and the windows. The windows have thick glazing bars. Large fanlight to the door with one central glazing bar. The side and rear elevations have two windows similar to those at the front, but with mullion and transom and margin glazing.
The interior is compactly planned with three main blocks of pews. The pulpit is a fine tall example, with six steps each side. There are shaped handrails with decorative newels and finials front and rear. Tall thin turned balusters. At the rear of the pulpit is an arched feature with gilded details.
The gallery is three-sided and stands on decorative cast-iron columns. Its front is panelled. There are single stairs to the rear.
