This was built as a Congregational Chapel in 1837 in the Greek Revival Style. A central portico has Ionic Columns supporting a simple cornice at 1st floor level. A full-width gable pediment has moulded limestone copings and a central stone framed round window. The 1st storey windows to the balcony are leaded stained glass in the Art Nouveau style. Entrance doorways flank the portico, with broad paired flat pilasters and deep cornice. A short timber-framed range to rear has a steeply-pitched plain tiled roof and may be a fragment of the earlier chapel on this site, built in 1716 and enlarged 1818.
In 1755, the Rev. Joseph Priestly, discoverer of oxygen, was appointed Minister here and there is a blue oval plaque in commemoration of this.
