Built in 1899 as the Sunday School/vestry to the adjoining Methodist Chapel, which was itself rebuilt between 1899 and 1902.
Sunday School/vestry set in a low rubble-walled enclosure with spear-headed iron railings and gates; ramped entrance with walls and brick paviors. Building has long rectangular plan in simple Italianate style of one storey over basement with cement-rendered walls and slate roof. Entrance front, with rusticated quoins above high plinth and string course doubling as cill band of windows, has slightly projecting centre section with steep pediment breaking through cornice. This contains a pair of panelled doors under a plain rectangular overlight within a surround of coupled plain pilasters supporting a plain entablature, above which is a 2-light blind panel with 3 pilasters and a plain entablature. 8-light rectangular widows to either side in plain pilastered surrounds. 6-bay returns, that to street with tall 28-paned glazing bar sashes, the top row of lights also top-opening, above string course, except to second bay from left which has a 4-panel door in a recessed opening cutting the string; below the string to the right where the ground drops are 4 iron-barred sash windows lighting basement.
Entrance lobby has coloured glass. Glazed screen at far end can fold back to create a single large space; kitchen and vestry beyond, the latter with an early C20 chimneypiece.
Included as a well-detailed building in its own right, the Sunday School/vestry forms a striking group with the adjoining Bethel Chapel.
