Full Description
South Reston Wesleyan Methodist chapel was built in 1879, to seat 235. The building is of red and yellow brick and has a gabled slate roof. The windows have rubbed-brick pointed-arches with stone hood mouldings and gothic glazing bars. There are decorative buttresses with pinnacles and a finial. Underneath the front central window there is a blind arcade of three gothic arches. The chapel closed in 2006. {1}{2}{3}
The chapel was the subject of a programme of photographic recording, conducted in May 2012 to inform its conversion to residential use. It was built by the Hay family, who resided at South Reston Hall. The chapel features a worship room and schoolroom to the rear, which appear to have been constructed at the time of the main chapel. A porch and rear storeroom appear to be later additions. Many of the internal features were removed after the chapel closed in 2006. {4}
