Building record 7324/0/14 - The Old Wesleyan Chapel, Hinton Road

Probably buit in the late 19th century. Constructed in highly decorative polychrome brick. Locally listed building.

{1} The history of non-conformism in Hinton and Woodford is strongly linked to its development, including the influx of workers from the construction of the GCR.
Probably built in the late 19th century, the Old Wesleyan Chapel on Hinton Road is now a private dwelling. Constructed in brick, the façade is highly decorative. The building was constructed as a single storey chapel, and has two bays to the front and three to the sides. There are two gothic arched
windows in the front gable end, with coloured brick (buff, red and blue) banding, in the form of arches, around them. A central bullseye window and a further decorative arch sit above, with similar coloured decoration.
The upper section contains two blue-brick string courses. The eastern elevation has three windows of the same style and decoration, together with a buff-brick string course. The western elevation is the same, aside from the central bay which has a modern porch. The roof is of Welsh slate
with timber barge boarding at the front gable; rooflights have been added which serve to detract from its character. A small brick chimney stack sits at the apex of the front gable end. It forms an important grouping with the Hinton Methodist Chapel to the north-east.
