Description

Abergavenny Methodist Church is a 19th-century building with a rectangular plan, faced in stucco and painted, topped with a natural slate roof. It has a gable end elevation facing the street and stands two storeys tall with three bays. The central entrance features plain double doors set between pilasters, leading to a projecting porch supported by two Tuscan columns and a plain entablature. This entrance is flanked by 8 over 8 pane sash windows. On the upper floor, there are three round-headed windows with 4 over 4 pane sashes; the narrower center window is blocked, possibly from the building's inception, but a late 19th-century organ is positioned against it, suggesting it may have been blocked at that time. The roof is hipped at the front, and there is a small retaining wall at the front of the chapel that returns at either side. The rear elevation is plain.

Inside, the church features a square space with a flat ceiling and galleries on three sides. Slim cast iron columns support a triglyph frieze and a panelled balcony front. There have been later Victorian alterations to the entrance, which includes a glazed balcony that supports a large organ. The high seat is elaborate, with panelling and turned balusters, while most furnishings date from the late Victorian period. The two central windows at the rear are adorned with very highly coloured glass in a geometric design.
