Methodism has been part of the religious history of Manorhamilton for nearly two centuries. This former Methodist chapel, although no longer functioning as a centre of worship, is still of social importance. Despite undergoing renovations and extensions, its scale and form are largely intact and thus it continues to contribute to the streetscape.
