 The Wesleyan chapel, at Guildford, was erected in 1843, in the early English style. It was built of Bargate stone, well wrought with Bath stone dressings. The dimensions are: length 58ft., width 36ft., in the clear. It is a strong and substantial edifice, having a projecting centre entrance, and three lofty pointed windows, with quartrefoil in the pediment. There are also side entrances, with cloisters, which communicate with the minister's residence, and preparations for school rooms under the entire area. The cost of the chapel and schools was £1230 ; of the house and cloisters ,520. This chapel is an example of Gothic, which, by competent judges, will be esteemed far superior to any which has since been erected among the Wesleyans.[Church and Chapel Architecture Page 150]

Attributed to Andrew Trimen by its inclusion in Church and Chapel Architecture. The church was extensively rebuilt in the Gothic style in the late 19th century
