William Clowes preached in East Ayton in the early 1820s, and a small Primitive Methodist chapel was built soon afterwards.
Inside, the building originally had a gallery around three sides, the area under part of which had a sliding partition, in order that it could serve as a separate Sunday school.
[2] The chapel was closed by the early 21st century and has been offered for sale, for conversion into a house.
[3] The chapel is built of sandstone, with angle pilasters forming quoins on the returns, and a hipped slate roof.
On the sides are sash windows with round arches in the upper floor and flat heads in the lower floor.
