Meeting Room adjoining
north end of
Allendale Library

Chapel, later Sunday School, now meeting room. Early C19, probably first
quarter. Squared rubble with dressed door surrounds and window heads.
Concrete tile roof. Single cell structure but street front gives appearance
of two storeys, three bays. Ground floor has a pair of boarded doors flanked
by 16 pane sashes, three 16 pane sashes above. Rear wall shows 16 pane sash
to light the gallery on the left, and a larger one to right lighting the well
of the chapel. Gable wall with projecting stones left for bonding into an
built extension. Interior: severely plain room without features. Gallery
removed, roof structure hidden by modern suspended celing. History: This was
the Primitive Methodist Chapel in use previous to the construction of the
larger one adjoining it in 1878. This was an important area for Methodism in
the C19 with its many adherents from the local lead mines. The two chapels
form a visual and historic group.
