Former Wesleyan Methodist chapel at Fenton Bulmer's 'History and Directory of Cumberland', published in 1901 (transcript provided by Steve Bulman <span class="nowrap"><a title="http://www.stevebulman.f9.co.uk/cumbria/frames_home.html" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" href="http://www.stevebulman.f9.co.uk/cumbria/frames_home.html">Link</a><img style="margin-left:2px;" alt="External link" title="External link - shift click to open in new window" src="https://s1.geograph.org.uk/img/external.png" width="10" height="10"/></span> ) describes the Wesleyan Chapel at Fenton as a neat brick building, erected in 1850. It is marked at this location on a series of old maps, so presumably the original building. There is a plaque above the front door, but overhanging leaves made it impossible this time of year to see if there is an inscription.
Nowadays the building appears to be used as an outhouse/garage, belonging to the adjacent Chapel Cottage.
