Small stone and Welsh slated building with a datestone of 1849. Building recording survey prior to conversion into a house found that the chapel was converted from an earlier, probably agricultural, building.

{1} Wesleyan Chapel, erected 1849, now used as a farm building.

{2} Methodist chapel, 1849, but still in the Georgian tradition, with simple arched windows. Tiny.

{3} Former Wesleyan. Stone and slate. Two round-arched windows with cast-iron frames and defaced tablet dated 1849. Photo.

{4} A level 2 building recording survey was carried out prior to conversion of the chapel building into residential use. The chapel was found to have been converted from an earlier, probably agricultural, building in 1849. The interior is very plain and would have seated at most about twenty to thirty people. A tabernacle or lectern once stood at the front and it was heated by a stove at the back. All four sides of the interior are furnished with metal coat and hat pegs.
