This is a modest stuccoed chapel with round headed windows founded in 1825, built on land previously part of former barracks. It was extended in 1887. It has a simple classical south facing elevation with a set of tall, round headed windows, a projecting porch and a raised decorative date stone mounted in the gable.

A Sunday School was added in 1869 and enlarged in 1892 to seat 180.

The chapel was closed in 1938 when the congregation merged with Springfield Road Methodist chapel and it was bought by Bexhill council. It was used as a children’s nursery for many years before its conversion to four flats in 2019.
