Pendeen is a village on the Penwith Peninsula three miles (five kilometres) north-northeast of St Just and seven miles (11 km) west of Penzance. It lies along the B3306 road which connects St Ives to Land’s End. Jo Lewis and Tony Mansell have compiled this profile of Pendeen Wesleyan Chapel.
A small Methodist chapel, probably Wesleyan and probably early-mid C19 has been converted into a house. It is a simple vernacular example, built of painted rubble under a half-hipped roof. 2 x 12-pane sashes on the road-frontage elevation, with a central doorway to left-hand end. (Heritage Gateway)
Non-Conformists. There were chapels here for the Wesleyans, built in 1838, the Bible Christians and United Methodists. (Genuki) We believe that Genuki’s statement is incorrect and that there were chapels for Pendeen Wesleyans and Boscaswell Bible Christians which became a United Methodist Chapel.
1838: Build date.
Seating for 500 persons. Seems doubtful as it is described as a small chapel.
1879: Reference to Pendeen Wesleyan Chapel. (The Cornish Telegraph – Tuesday 08 April 1879)
1888-1913: No longer shown as chapel on maps.
