Castletown Methodist Church

Archaeology

Modern chapel.


The original Wesleyan Methodist chapel on this site was constructed around 1801.


It was superceded by a larger chapel in 1834, and the old building leased out until 1867, whereupon it became the Sunday school. It still serves as the church hall today for Castletown Methodist Church.


Both structures are gable end on to Arbory Street but are stepped back from the building line of the houses to either side. Both buildings have been the subject of piecemeal additions. The later chapel in particular was enlarged by the provision of a substantial apsidal extension on the southerly gable lit by three windows.
