A Methodist (Wesleyan) chapel is shown on the 1905 O.S. map. {1}
The chapel was built in 1839. {2}
It is shown on the current map and appears to be still in use. {3}
The site was visited in 2009. The chapel of 1839 was replaced by the extant building which was built in 1871.
The chapel building is now used as a heritage room and the congregation meets in the chapel schoolroom. It is built of red brick with yellow and blue brick dressings. The gabled roof has a slate covering. The three-bay gabled front has a round-arched door between round-arched windows and a roundel in the gable with trefoil tracery and terminal pilasters of yellow brick with moulded ashlar imposts. The paired doors have decorative iron hinges and a light above. The windows have Venetian tracery and the front elevation is ornamented with polychrome brickwork in the arches of the openings, the gable verges and forming two string-courses. The raised gable has stone copings, which rest on small brackets, and three pinnacles. The side elevations have three bays of tall round-arched windows with margin lights and a dentil eaves course. The side and rear elevations are rendered and the verges of the rear gable have a polychrome dentil course. The gabled Sunday Schoolroom behind has a separate entrance and segmental-headed openings.{4}{5}
