Cadw's description
Location
Situated at south end of street, facing down Goat Street.
History
1799 former chapel associated with parish church, now church hall.
Chapel was founded following numerous visits to Newport by John Wesley, 1772-88, and Methodism was encouraged by the rector, D Pugh, illustrating the early close links between the established church and the Methodist cause. In 1811 however the Calvinistic Methodists separated to found the Long Street chapel.
Exterior
Rubble stone with half-hipped slate roof and east side 3-window facade. Small-paned windows with pointed heads, intersecting glazing bars and stone voussoirs, outer windows are sashes with slate sills and 3 panes wide, whereas the centre window is 4 panes wide and comprises the upper sash only, as fixed light over double doors. It is not clear whether this was originally a double-hung sash as the side windows or a shorter fixed light to allow for the pulpit. The original doors were between the window bays, and are blocked, with stone voussoirs to flat heads.
Plain S end wall. Rear W wall has 2 similar pointed windows. Attached at N end is low single storey stone range with stone N stack, door and 4-pane window.
Interior
Altered ca1967-70 in conversion to hall. Boarded 3-sided ceiling.
