The Sunday school is attached to the left; it has 2 storeys, a large hall on the first floor and a C20 wing at the rear. Chapel is 5-bay with triple-gable and advanced triple porch with gables, the central one giving access to the gallery staircase. All the gables are separated by buttresses with pinnacles and gableted weatherings. Each bay has a lancet window with hoodmould and marginal glazing bars, that to the stair porch being a double-lancet with plate-tracery. The door openings have 4-centred arched and the gables are coped. School is 2-bay by 4-bay with quoins, mullion and transom windows with flush stone relieving arches, central weathered buttress to front and coped gables.
