The Chapel was built in 1820, and is of red-brick construction with a cement render, under a hipped roof overclad with slate tiles. Access is via stone steps off Main Street, via double timber doors leading to a Chapel, which is open-plan with mock-timber cladding to the walls, with an underlined clad ceiling. The side elevations have two, sixteen-pane sash windows with stone sills. There is a choir stall at mezzanine level, with timber stairs and cast-iron supports.

The property is located off Main Street within Worthington, which is a Village lying approximately four-miles north-east of Ashby-de-la-Zouch, and six-miles south of Castle Donington. The property is edge-of-pavement, and is bordered by residential properties to the side and rear.
