Full Description
PRN 25667
The Wesleyan chapel is indicated on the 1904 OS County Series Map. The first chapel was built in 1835 and had a Sunday School. The present building was built in 1869 and closed in 1953. It has subsequently been used as a garage but is now disused. It is constructed of red brick with gault brick dressings and has a gabled roof which is now covered with corrugated asbestos. The front gable has been grossly altered by the insertion of garage doors, obscuring the original openings, but remnants of a stepped string-course of gault brick can be seen. The gable verges have three courses of gault brick. Set within the gable is a string-course of three courses of gault brick and a date stone inscribed with a date of 1869, though the rest of the inscription has been defaced. There are stepped angle buttresses. The south-west side elevation has three bays of blocked pointed windows with gault brick arches, a string-course of three courses of gault brick, and a flat-headed doorway. The bays are separated by stepped buttresses. A lower gabled annexe to the rear, with the same stylistic features, probably represents a Sunday School.{1}{2}{3}{4}
