The Ecclesall Wesleyan Chapel was first built in 1871 and extended in 1912. The older section is one of only a handful of Victorian buildings in the town to retain its original character. Look for the distinctive bargeboards and pinnacles.
The eastern gabled building dates to 1871 and is of orange brick with blue and yellow bricks used in bands across the window heads and main façade. The semi-circular headed windows and striking bargeboards with finials creates a distinct Victorian appearance, and the charm of this two bay modest building is not lost by the addition of the slightly wider and taller 1912 building to the west, which is also set forward. The design of the west block appears to take influence from the east block, the curve of the window followed by the Diocletian window, and the brick banding echoed in the stone copings and parapet. The gable heights are also similar. The Diocletian window, stone detailing and low massing create a distinctive horizontal appearance. Both buildings retain fine original features on the front elevations.
