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.
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.
