Full Description

West Torrington Wesleyan Methodist chapel was built in 1859. A schoolroom was added in 1893. The building is of yellow brick and has a gabled roof. It has a projecting central bay and stone headers on the window arches. It is unknown exactly when the chapel closed, but it seems to have been after 1982 as it is still labelled as a chapel on the Ordnance Survey map of that year. The chapel was converted into a house after its closure. {1}{2}{3}{4}
