Full Description
The Wesleyan chapel of 1889 was built to replace an initial 1817 chapel, before which the congregation had spent many years meeting in a barn.
The current chapel is of buff brick and stone dressings and features a 1980s extension to the front elevation.
John Wesley is known to have visited the area twice, once on 18 February 1743 and again on 13 July 1757, when he preached at The Green at Upper Poppleton.
The building has communal value due to the strong, historic Wesleyan community in Poppleton. There is some historical value due to the association with Wesley's Poppleton visits, and some artistic value, although this is somewhat compromised by the 1980s front extension.
