"Primitive Methodist chapel. Dated 1841. Coursed sandstone rubble with quoins, stone slate roof. Rectangular single cell building parallel to road. Plain style. Single storey, 2 windows, symmetrical: a square-headed doorway in the centre with monolithic lintel, flanked at a higher level by rectangular 12-pane windows which have tilting casement openings in the top tier. Both gable walls covered by later buildings. Rear fenestration similar to front."
"INTERIOR: 5 tiers of simple panelled pews rising from the centre to the east gable wall, facing a simple raised pulpit at the west end; plastered walls, flat ceiling. A good example of its type, apparently little altered."
