About Penrose Methodist Chapel
Penrose Methodist Chapel stands about 1.5 miles west of St Ervan in Cornwall. Now redundant, it is a Grade II* listed building cared for by the Historic Chapels Trust. The chapel formerly served a Bible Christian congregation and closed in 1998 after a long decline in attendance.
Local stonemasons James and William Tippett built the chapel in 1861. Its first service took place that November. The single-storey building has a plain rectangular form and is constructed from local slate, with a central entrance flanked by sash windows. Inside, the plastered walls, sloping box pews and seating once used by musicians and the choir remain from the original arrangement. After taking ownership in 2000, the trust renewed the roof using traditional Cornish ragstone, repointed the exterior and repaired ceiling plasterwork. Bishop & Son of Ipswich also restored the present organ.
