In front there is to be an open porch, over which will be placed a large two-light window. There will also be a range of couplet windows on each side. The inside of the chapel is to be finished with an open roof, and seats are to be erected to accommodate 300 persons. The building is to be 50 feet long and 33 feet wide, inside measurement, and is to cost ,500, which has been raised by subscription. The plans are by Messrs Shaw and Webster, architects, Marsden Street. It is intended that a schoolroom shall be ultimately erected on ground adjoining the chapel.
