The original brick chapel built in 1835 remains to the rear of the current chapel although has been heavily altered and was converted into a school room in 1893 when the later chapel to the east was built. This later chapel is in a late-Gothic style, constructed of red brick with sandstone dressings. The east front is gabled and divided into three bays by tall octagonal buttresses, rising to ogee-topped stone cupolas and has a large five-light window above the central entrance. The interior has a single gallery with lobby below.
