Map

Former General Baptist chapel, this meeting house was erected in 1712. Many of the members left in 1717 to form a new church in Worsted, but the remaining Baptists continued to come to the meeting house until the early 19th century when the chapel passed into the hands of the Primitive Methodists.

This building has red brick walls and a roof which is hipped and had plain tiles which were then replaced partly by pantiles. The broad south east front which faces the road is built in Flemish bond brickwork with glazed headers. At the centre is a blocked doorway with segmental-arched head, which is in-between two windows which have similar arches.

The interior of the building entirely refitted in the late 19th century.
