Notes	Methodist chapel. 1816, altered 1871 and 1981. Latter by WG Couldrey, Son & Partners, Paignton. Solid rendered walls; some stone rubble exposed in side walls. Hipped slated roof. A simple oblong plan with entrance lobby and gallery staircases on the south; rostrum (rebuilt 1981) on north; galleries on the other 3 sides. Classical style. 2 storeys raised on a high basement. 5-bay front, 5 windows wide. Round-headed central doorway has panelled double-doors incised with key-pattern; panelled reveals; elaborated cobweb fanlight. In front of it a deep Doric porch with eccentric capitals, the front columns probably of iron; flat modillioned hood with foliated boss on soffit. The porch stands on a raised terrace approached by stone steps to left and right. At foot of each flight of steps is a pair of square gate piers with stepped pyramidal caps; simple iron gates, almost certainly later replacements. Between the gates and across the whole front of the terrace is the original iron railing with fluted uprights and standards having spear-head finials. The front is arranged in 5 bays flanked and separated by pilaster strips; raised band above each storey, breaking forward over the strips; upper band surmounted by a parapet. Windows round-arched with 3 large panes in centre and 6 margin-panes at either side; radial bars in the head. The 2 windows flanking the doorway have a slightly different glazing pattern, probably because they were originally doorways: 8 small panes in the centre with 8 margin-panes at either side, radial bars in the head with a dentil-course beneath them. Round-arched windows in both side walls and in both storeys, those in lower tier foreshortened. Glazing similar to front, but with smaller middle panes; some old glass. INTERIOR considerably altered in late C19 (new seating and gallery fronts) and 1981 (entrance lobby and rostrum remodelled). The iron columns supporting the gallery, which curves at the north end, appear to be original; late C19 panelled gallery fronts with diagonal planking, the rail above carried on scrolled iron uprights. Fixed to the north gallery front is a large round clock inscribed MINCHINTON. BRIXHAM. Panelled dado, probably original, in ground storey. Panelled ceiling. Organ, now in north gallery, is shown behind rostrum in 1933 photo kept in the church; it seems to have been newly installed at that date.
