Former Wesleyan Chapel at Langley (Haydon)
Former Wesleyan Methodist Chapel at Langley, now a village hall. Photo by Peter Ryder.
This former chapel is now a village hall. It was built in 1849 and a schoolroom added in 1877. The original chapel is rectangular in plan and built of stone with Welsh slate roofs. Inside, none of the original fittings seem to have survived. However, the schoolroom part has an interesting ceramic fireplace (probably made locally) but this may have been added after the chapel went out of use.
The Wesleyan Methodists began holding services in this area at Stublick in the early 1830s. The 1877 addition of the schoolroom cost £100. The chapel seems to have been abandoned early in the 20th century when it became Douglas Cottage, and then the Barony offices; since 1954 it has served as the village hall.
