The High Street Methodist Chapel was formerly a Wesleyan Methodist Chapel, built in 1885 of red brick. It is a replacement for one built around 1801.

A historic building recording was undertaken by Pre-Construct Archaeological Services in January 2012 prior to conversion of the chapel into a residential property. The first Wesleyan chapel at Willingham was built in 1811. It was replaced in 1885 by the current building and a new school room and ancillary buildings were added to the building in 1915. The building is built of red brick with yellow brick dressings and has a distinctive yellow brick and blue pamment string course. The chapel closed in 2010. {5}{6}
