Erected in 1816 as "Charlwood Union Chapel" but was brought from Horsham and appears
to date from circa 1800. One storey weather boarded on brick base. Hipped slate
roof with brick chimney, the roof forming a verandah to the south-east elevation
supported on 8 wooden columns. Three shuttered windows. Left side 4 panelled door
and central 6 panelled door. Central path of Charlwood stone. The interior contains
2 vestries. The minister's vestry has an early C19 fireplace with reeded shelf. The
octagonal pulpit at the north-east with pointed arched backboard and the table pew
with square splay-sided table and flanking box pews date from the early C19. A most
unusual building, more typical of New England than Surrey.
