The whole building was converted to a school room and church hall c1888- 90, after a new chapel had been completed next door. In the mid and later twentieth century it was a church hall. Now a dwelling.

The former chapel has a distinguished classical façade of red brick with gault brick pilasters and cornice. The capitals to the pilasters are of moulded gault brick.

Its two bay eastern return elevation is highly visible from the High Street and was designed as a display frontage. Pilasters of gault brick to centre and corners. The glazing within the tall windows in the side elevations has been replaced with PVCu.
