About
Striking in its symmetry with its central round headed doorway between by matching round headed windows, Cautley Wesleyan chapel is a good example of its type and date.
In rural areas, Methodist chapels tend to be small and plain mainly due to difficulty in obtaining land for building and limited finance, therefore Methodist Chapels seldom have graveyards. However, in the western dales, the often remote locations and availability of land made graveyards possible.
Cautley Wesleyan Chapel roadside site cost just £10 6s 8d and the graveyard has been extended on at least three occasions. Built in 1845 it was opened two years before St Mark’s, the Anglican church in Cautley.
The interior of the building is small yet spacious, with brightly painted tiered seats and walls hung with expression work.
