Listed Building record MDR12315 - Wesleyan Methodist Chapel, Barber Booth, Edale

The Wesleyans have a chapel at Barber Booth, erected at a cost of £300, to seat 150. It is in the Bradwell circuit. The Barber family formerly owned land and were resident here, hence the name of the hamlet. (1) This Methodist Chapel is dated 1811. It is built of rubble gritstone with gritstone dressings and quoins. It has a stone slate roof, with one truncated stack. It also has moulded eaves corbels. It is two storeys high, and is of two bays, plus a single-storey 19th century bay to west. There is a doorway on the right with a dressed stone surround and plank door. The date stone above is inscribed WESLEYAN/METHODIST CHAPEL/ ERECTED/AD MDCCCXI. Two windows to the left have small panes and casement lights, with stone lintels and sills. There are also two similar, but smaller windows above. The chapel has simple interior fittings with a gallery. (2) It appears to still be in use as a church [2010]. (3)
