The church is a single storey building in the Early English style. It is of loosely dressed stone with ashlar details. The roof is of slate. The windows are wide lancets with ashlar sills, arches and jambs – the upper ones being arranged in a trio. These upper windows retain their leaded lights, whilst the lower ones are gone, but all are covered in sheet polythene. The door is a double timber plank with large wrought iron hinges and ashlar pointed arch surround. Both this and the windows have hood mouldings over, and the door additionally has a coped gable porch above. To each side of the front elevation are modest buttresses, and a small bell turret tops the gable, although there is no bell present now. It has seating for 260 people. MATERIALS Sandstone, slate, timber, stained glass DATES 1861 STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE The church is a simple but elegant example of its type with subtle but fine detailing. It represents an important development in the religious life of the area since it was the result of an amalgamation of 2 congregations between whom it was situated. Most of the original features remain intact (except for the unfortunate loss of the lower leaded lights) and its frontage to the street is attractively symmetrical. There is a great emphasis on the triangular shape, with the gable; pointed arches, porch and bell turret all lifting the eye toward the heavens.

Shown on 2nd edition Ordnance Survey map as a methodist chapel. This chapel was raised in memory of the local Methodist preacher and missionary Robert Young. He was well thought of and the local Methodist community were proud to be associated with him. It is well built with un-lavish but individual detailing.
Chapel building of 1 storey with single storey hall adjoining to the east side. They are both constructed of sandstone rubble with ashlar detailing. The stone was hewn by the trustees and some helpers from a local quarry between Emmaville and the Wylam Road, using borrowed carts. The roof of the church is of Welsh slate with slightly swept water tables to each gable terminating in decorative kneelers. There is a chamfered plinth course beneath the windows to the sides incorporating the sills. To the principal (north) elevation there is a stone pinnacle atop the gable, and a large porch below which is gabled to the centre but flanked by ‘lean-to’ pitches. This also has water tables with kneelers, and it crowned by a smaller pinnacle of the same design. The timber plank door sits between 2 pairs of lancets – the lancet pairs being repeated to the side with single lancets interspersed. The hall is similar with a lower ridge line, with the door being set in a moulded stone surround with tudor arch in the east side of the porch. A lancet pair is the central feature of the street elevation. There are some original cast iron rainwater goods with decorative hopper heads.
