Lealholm Methodist Chapel is a historic Methodist place of worship in Lealholm, a village in North Yorkshire, in England.
The chapel was built in 1839 for the Wesleyan Methodist Church.[1] By the early 20th century, it was one of four Wesleyan chapels in the small valley.[2] The chapel has been flooded on numerous occasions, and the heights of various floods are marked by cuts on the external stonework.[3] The chapel was grade II* listed in 1969.[1]
The chapel is built of sandstone, with a sill band, and a purple slate roof with a stone ridge, copings and curved kneelers. There is one tall storey, three bays, and a small single-storey extension to the southeast. The doorway has a pointed-arched head and a hooded fanlight. The windows are sashes, also with pointed-arched heads. Above the doorway is a square panel with fan-patterned spandrels and a dated and inscribed oval plaque.[1][4]
